– A move for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo is being weighed up by Manchester United, according to the Manchester Evening News. The Red Devils are said to be “very interested” in landing the 25-year-old, and they would be willing to offer him his preferred No. 24 squad number should he choose to make the switch to Old Trafford. That number is currently assigned to goalkeeper André Onana, who is spending the season on loan at Turkish club Trabzonspor. Semenyo has registered six goals and three assists in the Premier League so far this season. That form has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, with Liverpool also recently linked with interest in securing his signature. The Ghana international reportedly has a £60 million release clause that becomes active in January.

The Bundesliga champions are expected to explore an approach for either Borussia Dortmund‘s Nico Schlotterbeck or Crystal Palace‘s Marc Guéhi should they fail to agree to new terms with Upamecano.
