Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim clears air over Antoine Semenyo’s special player comment

Manchester United manager Rubin Amorim has cleared the air over Antoine Semenyo’s special player comment before the crucial Premier League clash against AFC Bournemouth on Monday night.

Amorim had labelled Semenyo as a special player prior to the high-stake clash at the Old Trafford. The Black Stars attacker excelled as Bournemouth held the Red Devils to a 4-4 draw.

Quizzed if he would like to have the Ghanaian international in his squad after labeling him a special player, Amorim said, "No, I didn't say that for that reason. I think there are many exceptional players in the league. What I feel, to sum up, is that they have a top-level coach, a top-level team, I really like that team, and I think their best player is a special player."

The former Bristol City star ended his eight-game goal drought in the Premier League after netting in the thrilling 4-4 stalemate against Manchester United. It was his third consecutive goal against the Red Devils.

Semenyo has been outstanding for Bournemouth in the ongoing Premier League campaign, scoring seven goals and delivering three assists.

As the winter window approaches, the Ghanaian international has emerged as a top transfer target for several European clubs including Liverpool, who view him as a possible replacement for Mohammed Salah.
