Time is against them.
Manchester United have scraped just 39 points from 36 Premier League games—a season of disarray, clouded by inconsistency and a toothless frontline.
The only lifeline left? A Europa League final showdown against Tottenham. Win, and they secure Champions League football. Lose, and the darkness deepens.
Yet beneath the wreckage, plans are forming.
According to Fichajes, United are willing to spend £38 million to sign Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo—a player who has quietly lit up the season with 11 goals and 7 assists across all competitions.
A solution? Perhaps. But more urgently, a necessity.
Rasmus Højlund, though promising, missed two sitters in their loss to West Ham. United’s cutting edge has dulled.
The talk of a marquee striker persists—Matheus Cunha of Wolves leads the wish list—but there’s something uniquely appealing about Semenyo.
He’s not flashy. But he’s effective. Two-footed. Positionally fluid. Relentless.
Whether from the left, right, or through the middle, Semenyo can dismantle defences. And unlike Cunha, he won’t cost a king’s ransom—£38 million could get the deal done.
But there’s a twist.
Arsenal are circling. The Gunners as reported on Independent sport news site , are eyeing alternatives to Nico Williams, are aware of Semenyo’s boyhood loyalty to their badge.
And if they move quickly, that childhood dream could trump United’s cash.
For now, Old Trafford waits. A broken season. A desperate bid. A 25-year-old Ghanaian with fire in his boots.
Semenyo could be the reset button.
