Manchester United are looking to finalise the signing of Bryan Mbeumo, with one potential alternative now officially ruled out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United\u2019s<\/a> focus is on attacking additions in an effort to score more goals under Ruben Amorim<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha\u2019s move to Old Trafford<\/a> provides a welcome boost, with the Brazilian offering some magic from a number 10 position.<\/p>\n

United are still chasing another addition, though, with Brentford\u2019s Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> the priority as things stand.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s pursuit of Mbeumo<\/a> is inching closer to an agreement, with Amorim surely hoping to get him snapped up before pre-season begins next week.<\/p>\n

Brentford are driving a hard bargain, meaning United have looked at other options, but one target has shut down a potential move.<\/p>\n

Antoine Semenyo enjoyed a fine season with Bournemouth, notching 11 goals and five assists in 37 Premier League games.<\/p>\n

Amorim is thought to be a big fan of Semenyo<\/a> and United were interested in snapping up Semenyo this summer.<\/p>\n

Reports even suggested that Semenyo had not ruled out joining United<\/a> despite missing out on European football.<\/p>\n

United held talks over Semenyo<\/a> earlier in the summer, but the Ghanaian forward has now committed his future to Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth have confirmed<\/a> a new contract for Semenyo, with the 25-year-old penning a deal until the summer of 2030.<\/p>\n

The deal officially rules out a move for United this summer, even if Semenyo may well have negotiated a release clause as part of the deal.<\/p>\n

Any release clause surely won\u2019t be active until next summer at the earliest, meaning United\u2019s potential Mbeumo fallback option is off the table.<\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo makes more sense for Manchester United<\/strong><\/p>\n

Praised as a \u2018fantastic player\u2019 by Thomas Frank on Brentford\u2019s official website<\/a>, Semenyo has proven himself as a brilliant Premier League attacker.<\/p>\n

We would have welcomed Semenyo to Old Trafford, but we also believe Ineos are making the right call by going for Mbeumo.<\/p>\n

Mbeumo is the same age but has proven himself to be more of a goal threat, scoring 29 goals in the last two Premier League seasons compared to Semenyo\u2019s 19.<\/p>\n

Mbeumo, being a natural left-footer, also adds balance to United\u2019s attack, potentially teaming up with the right-footed Cunha in the number 10 roles.<\/p>\n

Francisco Trincao excelled under Amorim at Sporting, thriving as a left-footed forward on the right side of Amorim\u2019s attack \u2013 the exact role in mind for Mbeumo at United.<\/p>\n

Both players possess outstanding versatility across the front line, but we would give the edge to Mbeumo in terms of goalscoring and his fit for Amorim\u2019s system.<\/p>\n

Ineos must now stump up the cash for Mbeumo, with the pressure on to strike a deal, now that potential fallback option Semenyo is off the table.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are looking to finalise the signing of Bryan Mbeumo, with one potential alternative now officially ruled…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[16239,748,37199,393,4884,2465,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-230336","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-antoine-semenyo","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-bryan-mbeumo","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-manchester","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
