WILL IT HAPPEN FAST: UNITED MOVES QUICKLY TO SEAL ANTOINE SEMENYO WISH FOR JANUARY START
Man United could offer Antoine Semenyo his favoured No. 24 shirt in a bid to sign the Bournemouth star. The in-form winger has a £65m release clause, but Liverpool and Man City are also interested.
Manchester United might let Antoine Semenyo have his favourite No. 24 jersey as they try to get the Bournemouth attacker to come to Old Trafford in January. Word is the Red Devils want to get the Ghana player from the south coast this winter and may have an advantage over other teams interested in him.
Semenyo, who is 25, has scored six times and assisted with three goals in only 11 Premier League games this season. Because of this, he is being talked about more and more as possibly moving to the Red Devils in the middle of the season, and knowing he could get his usual jersey might help in talks.
The No. 24 jersey is now being worn by goalie Andre Onana, who is playing for Trabzonspor until the season ends. But United might be okay with letting Semenyo have it.
This small thing could be very important in their attempt to get one of the most wanted players in the Premier League right now. Onana's time at United doesn't look good after some mistakes hurt his reputation, and Senne Lammens' success has made his spot even less secure.
The player they got from Royal Antwerp in the summer has been a great addition to United so far. So much so that Onana, who cost £43.4 million when he joined back up with Erik ten Hag, who used to be at Ajax, in 2023, already seems unnecessary.
After it came out that the player has a £65m release clause in his Bournemouth contract, there has been a lot of talk about Semenyo being available in January. The winger signed a new deal on the south coast this summer, but it's believed he only signed it understanding that the Cherries would put in a release clause.

That's enough to suggest that Semenyo, who has said before that he would rather join Arsenal, would be willing to move if the right chance comes up. And the £65m price is pretty realistic for the teams that spend the most in England's top league. However, some may argue that relying heavily on targeted ads can lead to a lack of privacy and a sense of being constantly monitored. Additionally, while Semenyo's desire to join Arsenal is noted, numerous factors could influence his decision, including team dynamics and financial stability beyond mere transfer fees.
However, there are still some worries about whether United could spend that much money in the middle of the season. Ruben Amorim's team got Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko for around £200m total, making some wonder where Semenyo would even fit into the starting lineup without taking out one of those players.
That being said, Semenyo has shown he can play in pretty much any attacking position, even the No. 10 spot. One idea could be to have him take that spot from Bruno Fernandes and move the Portugal star to a deeper spot in the midfield.
But, United supporters may be sad to hear they are not seen as favourably in the battle to sign Semenyo as some other teams. The Athletic says that Liverpool and Manchester City are in front to get him, with both teams probably more appealing to most players right now.
United could also give Semenyo the No. 9 shirt if they want to. The number is open since Rasmus Hojlund went to Napoli on loan during the summer.
Even though it might not seem like a big deal overall, having the correct shirt number really matters to some very talented players. It turns out Liverpool could also give him No. 24, but Josko Gvardiol is wearing that shirt for City at the moment.
WHY MANCHESTER UNITED BLOCKED JOSHUA ZIRKZEE’S MOVE TO ROMA THIS WINTER
Massara reveals the truth on Raspadori and Joshua Zirkzee negotiations. Plus, injury news and Gasperini's frustration at Roma.
Roma’s sporting director, Ricky Massara, says the club should know more about Giacomo Raspadori’s situation by Sunday, while talks about Joshua Zirkzee with Manchester United are completely off the table.
Gian Piero Gasperini stirred things up after the 2-0 win at Lecce this week when he skipped the post-match interviews. People saw it as his way of protesting the club’s slow pace in the January transfer market. So, is there any real movement when it comes to landing Atletico Madrid striker Raspadori?
“We’re negotiating for Raspadori, and honestly, things are moving toward a conclusion—one way or another. We’ll probably have a much clearer picture by tomorrow,” Massara told DAZN Italia.
Gasperini also said having the Friedkin family in Rome mattered more to him than the team’s points so far this season. Does that mean he and the owners are on the same page?
“It’s always great when the owners are here in Rome, but we feel their support all the time anyway. We all want the same thing: to help the team and the club keep growing. So yes, we’re all pulling in the same direction.
“There’s always a lot of back-and-forth—part of the job when you’re trying to build the best team possible.”
Lately, there’s been talk about Roma having an eye on Marseille’s teenage striker Robinio Vaz.
“He’s a fantastic talent, but honestly, that transfer looks almost impossible right now. Marseille probably won’t even consider selling him, and if they do, lots of clubs will be interested,” Massara said.
As for Zirkzee, Massara made it clear that Roma can forget about signing the Manchester United forward, especially after Ruben Amorim’s recent exit.
“Manchester United has shut down any transfer talks at the moment. With the coaching change, they’re not moving anyone. So, I really don’t see them changing their mind.”
Tonight, Evan Ferguson starts against Sassuolo, but nobody’s sure where he’ll be playing in the future.
“He’s here, he’s helping, and he’s getting better all the time. He’s young and coming from another league, but the progress is clear. We’re glad he’s out there tonight. We hope he stays for the rest of the season, but let’s see how things go.”
Wesley’s out with the flu and only makes the bench. Artem Dovbyk, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Leon Bailey, and Pierluigi Gollini are all injured. Neil El Aynaoui and Evan Ndicka are away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The good news? Gianluca Mancini and Mario Hermoso are back from suspension, but now Bryan Cristante is serving a ban.
WHAT’S NEXT? WHICH ELITE MANAGER IS WAITING TO REPLACE RUBEN AMORIM AT UNITED?
Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim after 14 months. Darren Fletcher takes charge of Burnley. Read the full fallout and stats.
Manchester United finally pulled the plug on Ruben Amorim after 14 months that felt like a slow-motion car crash. It’s been a stretch full of bad decisions, stubborn tactics, and more than a few moments that fans would rather forget.
Amorim showed up in November 2024, not long after Erik ten Hag got the boot—even though Ten Hag had just signed a new contract. The club wanted someone to bring some fresh energy and direction, and Amorim, with two Primeira Liga titles at Sporting under his belt, seemed like the guy. But here we are, with United sitting sixth in the table and Amorim blowing up at reporters after a 1-1 draw with Leeds at Elland Road. So, how did it all fall apart?
First, the tactics. If there’s one thing people will remember about Amorim at Old Trafford, it’s his absolute refusal to try anything but his beloved 3-4-3. When he took the job, everyone knew the squad just didn’t fit that system—the full-backs couldn’t play as wing-backs, and the midfield was left wide open. Didn’t matter. Amorim even joked that not even the Pope could change his mind. That stubbornness helped seal his fate, and now whoever comes in next has to work with a squad built for a system that isn’t working.
Then there’s the Marcus Rashford mess. Rashford scored right away under Amorim, but it was all downhill from there. The two never clicked. Rashford was out the door on loan to Aston Villa by January and then off to Barcelona in the summer. Rashford’s career got back on track elsewhere, but United only got loan fees and lost a homegrown star for basically nothing.
Amorim was supposed to be great with young players, which is something United always expects from their managers. But he wasted that chance. Alejandro Garnacho, who looked untouchable just last summer, ended up being sold to Chelsea. Rasmus Hojlund was loaned to Napoli. And then there’s Kobbie Mainoo—he started the Euro 2024 final for England, but under Amorim, he turned into a utility man, shuffled around with no clear role. Fans hated it.
Last season was a disaster—United finished 15th, their worst in 50 years. Even Amorim admitted, “We are being the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United.” He picked up just 27 points from 27 games. Things got a bit better this year, but not enough for a club with United’s history.
If there was one bright spot, it was the Europa League run. Amorim took United all the way to the final, with that wild comeback against Lyon in the quarters. But then they didn’t show up against Tottenham, losing 1-0—their fourth loss to Spurs that year. No trophy, no big Champions League payday. It stung.
And who could forget the Grimsby humiliation? That was just the cherry on top of a tenure the club will want to move on from fast.
Amorim had some rough losses—those games against Bournemouth, Brighton, and even a ten-man Everton stand out. But honestly, nothing topped getting knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Grimsby Town, a team from League Two.
Grimsby jumped ahead with two goals, but Manchester United scored twice late to force penalties. The shootout turned into a marathon, ending 12-11, and Grimsby’s fans wasted no time. They started chanting “sacked in the morning” at Amorim, and social media lit up with memes of him clutching his tactics board on the sideline.
Things really fell apart for him over the holidays. That stretch is always brutal in England, and it ended up being his breaking point. First, there was a dismal home draw with Wolves—a team that barely had any points. Then, a 1-1 draw at Leeds. After that match, Amorim aimed for the club’s scouting department and the sporting director right in the press conference. Less than a day later, the club showed him the door.
