BREAKING NEWS: In a bold and confident statement, Manchester United legend Nani has declared that there is one signing capable of transforming United’s season and giving them the edge over Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
According to the former winger, if United secure this player’s signature in the January transfer window, they could immediately shift momentum and challenge the Gunners at the top of the table.
That player is Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth’s in-form Ghanaian forward.
Nani has openly urged Manchester United to move quickly and decisively for Semenyo once the January window opens.
The Bournemouth star only recently signed a new deal last summer, but that contract includes a release clause that becomes active in early January.
For a fee of £65 million, Semenyo can leave before January 10th — a deadline set to give Bournemouth enough time to reinforce their squad. The clause will also reactivate in the summer, but United may not want to wait that long.
Manchester United have admired Semenyo for months, dating back to the last summer window when interest was strong but the club opted to bring in Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha instead.
Even after those arrivals, however, United’s admiration for Semenyo never faded. Now, with Liverpool and Manchester City joining the race for his signature, the competition has intensified.
Liverpool’s interest existed even before Mohamed Salah’s recent controversial interview, which has cast fresh doubt over his future at Anfield. Should Salah leave in the near future, Semenyo is viewed as a potential replacement.
Manchester City, meanwhile, are monitoring the forward as they seek to maintain pressure on Arsenal in the title chase.
But despite competition from England’s top sides, Nani believes Semenyo belongs at Old Trafford. Speaking to Metro via casino.co.uk, Nani described Semenyo as exactly the type of electric, dynamic forward Manchester United fans love — someone capable of beating defenders, scoring goals, and creating chances out of nothing.
Nani stressed that United need attacking players with pace, flair, and the courage to take initiative in the final third. According to him, Semenyo ticks every box.
He acknowledged, however, that joining Manchester United is never simple: the pressure, expectations, and demands are completely different from other Premier League clubs.
Still, he hopes that if United sign the Bournemouth star, he will bring his fearless mentality and express all his talent on the pitch.
United’s need for reinforcements is even more pressing because both Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo will soon depart for the Africa Cup of Nations, leaving the squad short of attacking firepower.
Their upcoming fixture against Bournemouth — where Semenyo is expected to feature — could be the last match before those players leave for international duty.
With rival clubs circling, Manchester United must now decide whether to act swiftly or risk losing a player who could significantly strengthen their title ambitions. For Nani, the answer is clear:
Semenyo is the missing ingredient United must add in January if they hope to overtake Arsenal and reignite their championship hopes.
