Former Manchester United and Portugal forward, Luis Nani, has urged the Red Devils to make a move for Ghana striker Antoine Semenyo in the winter transfer window.

Semenyo is available for £65M in January after signing a deal last summer, which included the amount as his release clause.

Liverpool and Manchester City are reported as the frontrunners for the signature of the 25-year-old.

However, ahead of United's Premier League clash with AFC Bournemouth, Nani – a fan of the Ghanaian forward – believes Semenyo has the qualities to succeed at Old Trafford.

"I think all the players who have the ability to move forward at speed, being able to dribble, able to shoot, to score goals, to assist and just have that general creativity in the moment would suit Manchester United," he told Metro.

"That’s the type of player the fans want to see. However, we know that when players come to Man United, this is totally different. It’s a different environment, different pressure, different mentality, different job, and then they have to adapt.

"I hope if we get Semenyo, he can come with his attitude, with this mentality, and he can put all of his talent on the field and help the team."

Semenyo has already scored six goals in the ongoing Premier League campaign for the Cherries.
