Antoine Semenyo: Manchester United could offer Bournemouth and Ghana star his preferred number 24 shirt to lure him in during January transfer window

The Red Devils are reportedly looking to sign the Ghana international and Bournemouth star this winter. Semenyo, 25, has netted six goals and provided three assists in just 11 Premier League matches this season.

He is increasingly linked with a mid-season move to the Red Devils as a result and knowing his usual jersey is on offer could play a role in negotiations. The No. 24 shirt is currently occupied by goalkeeper Andre Onana, who is on loan at Trabzonspor until the end of the season.

But United may not have any qualms about making it available for Semenyo. Onana's future at United looks bleak after a series of blunders tarnished his reputation.

Semenyo's availability in January has sparked a lot of chatter after it was revealed the player has a £65m release clause in his Bournemouth contract. The winger signed fresh terms on the south coast over the summer but it's understood he only penned the new contract with the understanding the Cherries would include a release clause.

That's enough to suggest Semenyo, who has previously hinted his preference would be to join Arsenal, would be willing to move if the right opportunity presents itself. Nonetheless, there are perhaps still concerns as to whether United could afford such a splurge midway through the campaign.

Ruben Amorim's side recruited Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko for a combined fee of around £200m, leaving some question as to where Semenyo would even fit into the XI without dropping one of those players. The Athletic has also reported that Liverpool and Manchester City are leading the chase for his signature, with both teams likely more enticing to most players at present.
