Wingers Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo are on United’s shortlist. Of the two, it’s relayed United are favouring a move for Bournemouth’s Semenyo.
Sky Sports stated: “Man United are understood to want the likes of Liam Delap, Matheus Cunha and one of either Antoine Semenyo or Bryan Mbeumo for their forward line, and they will become an increasingly attractive destination if they can offer Champions League football next season.
“Semenyo is believed to be ahead of Mbeumo on the list of targets at United.”
But while Man Utd favour the Cherries ace, they by no means have a transfer all to themselves. Sky noted Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham are all keen on the 25-year-old right-footer too.

Signing all three would lock Man Utd into a colossal outlay on just new attackers. Cunha (£62.5m) and Delap (£30m) will cost a combined £92.5m, while Bournemouth are believed to value Semenyo at £70m.
Man Utd will fancy their chances of pulling off a deal for Semenyo at a lower sum, with transfer insider, Rudy Galetti, previously telling TEAMtalk £40m is a more realistic price point.
Aiding United’s cause in overhauling their squad will be a handful of major exits.
