The trio of Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Mbeumo was not enough for the long-distance race, while Joshua Zirkzee continued to disappoint.

Semenyo is an all-round player, playing from midfielder to striker. Last season, he played 9 times as a winger, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. Before that, in the 2023/24 season, he had 5 goals in 7 games in this role.

That means Semenyo is capable of rotating with anyone up front, or replacing Amad Diallo and Patrick Dorgu as a winger in the 3-4-2-1 football project that Ruben Amorim loves.

Ruben Amorim wants his old game back

According to sources from Portugal, coach Ruben Amorim has discussed with MU officials about continuing the project at Old Trafford, after a disastrous start to the season.

Ruben Amorim will continue to lead MU, and at the same time ask the "Red Devils" to recruit young center-back Zeno Debast from his old club Sporting Lisbon.

Last summer, Amorim brought Zeno Debast to Sporting. The 21-year-old has become a mainstay for the Lisbon club and a regular in the Belgian national team.

Amorim wanted a new centre-back but was not able to get one in the last transfer window. Now, he has proposed recruiting Zeno Debast in January, gradually replacing Harry Maguire.

Tottenham contact Morgan Rogers

British media reported that Tottenham plans to buy young star Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa in the winter transfer window to strengthen their attack.

Coach Thomas Frank made his mark right from the start of his job with Tottenham. Therefore, the Spurs Board of Directors agreed to increase the budget for transfer activities.

Tottenham have ambitions of finishing in the top four of the Premier League, as well as going far in the Champions League. Morgan Rogers is considered to add flexibility to the London capital team.

Morgan Rogers is an attacking midfielder who can also play as a winger. Aston Villa have said they will only let the 23-year-old England international leave for a fee of no less than £80 million.
