Why Man United Cooled Interest in Antoine Semenyo as City Take Lead in Bournemouth Star Pursuit

Ahead of the January transfer window, Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth winger, is leaning towards Manchester City when the window opens next week, reports The Athletic's David Ornstein.
Because Semenyo wants to win trophies, Pep Guardiola's side’s recent honours include six Premier League titles since 2018 and a 2023 Champions League win as part of a treble season.
Amid recent weeks, Semenyo's form stands out with 8 goals and 3 assists in 16 league appearances, and he prefers a move to Manchester City, reports say.
Interest from City makes a winter exit the likeliest outcome, and a move would bolster Pep Guardiola's attack amid reliance on Erling Haaland, who has 19 goals and 46% of City's league output.
There is no formal agreement yet, and a 65 million release clause can be triggered before January 10; Chelsea pulled out and Manchester United avoid chasing unwilling players.
