United opted to sign Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo instead, but with Semenyo able to play on either flank, he may still be an option in the future for United.

Semenyo is worth 40m, according to Transfermarkt. Bournemouth are back in Premier League action this weekend as they travel to Crystal Palace away.
