The club may now consider other targets, including Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo. Semenyo had an impressive season on the South Coast, scoring 13 goals and providing six assists in 42 games. His price tag is reportedly similar to Mbeumo's, reflecting his value to his current team.

However, Manchester United may face competition for Semenyo's signature. Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in the winger and could offer the advantage of Champions League football, which may be an attractive proposition for Semenyo.
