Kenya, 23 December 2025 - Manchester United and Manchester City are reportedly set to go head-to-head in the race to sign Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo, as the Premier League giants look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Semenyo has enjoyed an impressive rise in recent seasons, earning plaudits for his pace, physicality, and versatility across the front line.
The Black Stars attacker has become one of Ghana’s most reliable forwards, combining power with intelligent movement and a strong work rate, qualities that have caught the attention of top clubs in England.
Manchester United are believed to view Semenyo as a player who can add directness and intensity to their attack.
With United seeking more consistency and depth in wide and central attacking areas, the Ghanaian forward fits the profile of a high-energy player capable of pressing from the front and contributing goals.
On the other side of Manchester, City are also monitoring Semenyo closely. Pep Guardiola is known for developing players with strong tactical discipline and adaptability, and Semenyo’s ability to play multiple roles in attack makes him an intriguing option for the reigning champions. City’s interest signals just how far the Ghanaian has progressed on the European stage.
