Manchester United not only sets his sights on Cunha, but also wants to poach the strongest dark horse of the Premier League.

Manchester United's summer window is finally about to start "hit a heavy blow".

While the deal to introduce Wolves forward Cunia is close to completion, INEOS has also started negotiations with Bournemouth winger Antoine Semeno.

To be honest, this wave of operations is quite thoughtful: a middle-lane fulcrum type Cunia, a wing-lane tearman Semeno with strong explosive power, Amorin's intention to rebuild the forward system is very obvious.

Why are these two people upgraded?

Cunha has 15 goals and 6 assists this season, is familiar with the rhythm of the Premier League, and can play as a midfielder and winger. He is the ideal "second striker" in the Amorin system.

Semenho's data is not bad either, with 9 goals and 5 assists, and his efficiency is more stable than his "presence" on the court. He doesn't rely on fancy things, but on hard protrusions, running and sensitivity to space. Manchester United has been missing for too long in this type.

Look at Hoylen's data: 4 goals and 0 assists, expecting to score 5.2, and not even expected to play well. It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, but that the system doesn’t give him enough support.

Can Manchester United really handle it all?

This is the key.

It is easy to attract people, but now Manchester United cannot qualify for the Champions League, have unstable results, and the team's direction has not been completely determined.

Cunha is willing to come, which means the platform's attractiveness is still there; whether Semenho is willing to leave depends on whether Bournemouth lets go + whether the player himself is willing to give up the stable playing environment.

Summary of one sentence: If Manchester United chooses the right candidate this time, it depends on whether they can really take it.
