Chris Waddle has told Manchester United to sign AFC Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo to become a ‘real team’ and get back to their best.

Waddle believes Semenyo is the best winger in the Premier League right now after six goals and three assists in seven games so far this season.

Bournemouth feel Semenyo is worth upwards of £75m and won’t sell him for a cheaper price if any bids come in during the January transfer window.

Ruben Amorim is known to be a huge fan of Semenyo and even took the player out to dinner this summer to convince him to join the Red Devils.

‘Antoine Semenyo, the winger at Bournemouth, is definitely the best [in the Premier League] right now,’ Waddle told BestBettingSites .

‘Semenyo is good at scoring goals, he’s positive, and he gets good goals. When he gets the ball he drives at players.

‘I think Bournemouth will struggle to hold onto him. He’s really talented, and the best winger in the country right now.

‘People might question why someone would want to join Manchester United right now, but they will come good again, and they’re a huge club still.

‘If Semenyo went to United, he could play just as he is for Bournemouth and be ideal for them.

‘He could play alongside Matheus Cunha, and then he and Benjamin Sesko could spark into life.

‘You could see a real team developing, especially with Bruno Fernandes in behind. There’s a lot more to do, but I can see them building a team there.

‘He’s the type of player that United fans would love, and it would be a great acquisition, but he won’t come cheap.’

United, along with Tottenham , were strongly linked to Semenyo in the summer before he ended up signing a new contract with Bournemouth.

It’s reported that United and Spurs will try to sign Semenyo again in January with Liverpool also thought to be in the race for the 25-year-old.

Semenyo is a versatile attacking player who can be deployed as a left winger, right winger or centre-forward and has shined for the Cherries.

At the start of the 2025-26 season, the Ghana international opened up about his decision to sign a new deal at Bournemouth until 2030.
