Manchester United are considering Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze or Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo as potential transfer targets after having their bid for Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo rejected, according to reports.
ESPN reports that the Red Devils have shown significant interest in signing Cameroon international Mbuemo during this summer's transfer window but have been unsuccessful in their initial approach.
It remains unclear whether United will continue pursuing the 25-year-old Brentford forward or shift their focus to alternative targets as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
Rebuilding Under Amorim
The transfer activity comes as part of a broader strategy to reinforce manager Ruben Amorim's squad following a disappointing previous campaign that saw United finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
The club has already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers and is expected to make additional acquisitions before the transfer window closes.
Nigerian-born Eze, who has impressed at Crystal Palace with his creative abilities and goal-scoring prowess, represents an intriguing alternative should the Mbuemo pursuit fall through. Similarly, Ghanaian forward Semenyo has caught attention with his performances for Bournemouth.
This transfer saga unfolds amid reports that Tottenham Hotspur may be looking to hijack United's move for Mbuemo, adding further complexity to the Red Devils' summer recruitment plans.
