This morning I came across an interesting Manchester United transfer article, but something didn’t make sense to me, so I decided to look into it a little more closely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know the Red Devils are serious about Antoine Semenyo, with the likes of Fabrizio Romano confirming what we first covered here regarding the Bournemouth and Ghanaian winger.<\/p>\n

However, the new details I saw seemed to very strongly suggest a different priority for Ruben Amorim in a key position on the team.<\/p>\n

That position would be left-back or wing-back in Amorim’s system, with The Sun suggesting Semenyo could be signed as a surprise option in that position due to major concerns over Patrick Dorg.<\/p>\n

Now, Semenyo has been one of the most in-form players in the Premier League this season, but he is not a wing-back, so the club will no doubt aim to play him in the front three, even if Dorg is at risk.<\/p>\n

I can confirm that United are indeed already considering a replacement for Dorg, as first reported in the Daily Briefing by sources who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect relationships.<\/p>\n

“It’s no secret that he[Dorug]struggled at United,” my source said. “For him to come in as a starter… it’s too soon for him. They’ll definitely be targeting that position.”<\/p>\n

Asking for specific names proves a bit difficult, but even if we can’t exactly guarantee they’re a priority, we can point to players we’ve heard rumors about before, and other clubs may also be more advanced with such deals.<\/p>\n

One player who is currently attracting a lot of interest across Europe is Eintracht Frankfurt’s left-back Nathaniel Braun.<\/p>\n

As I reported earlier this week, my latest information is that Arsenal are probably the club with the strongest interest in Brown right now.<\/p>\n

However, it’s worth mentioning that United’s name has also been mentioned recently by some very reliable journalists, such as Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.<\/p>\n

We’ve heard in the past that Newcastle’s Tino Livramento is in the spotlight, but it appears that another club is showing the most interest, this time Manchester City.<\/p>\n

So, I don’t know exactly what’s going to happen here, but for what it’s worth, here’s my analysis of the situation.<\/p>\n

United will likely continue to monitor the likes of Brown and Livramento, but it is not an immediate priority as they wait to see how Dorg develops.<\/p>\n

With that now unlikely to happen, speculation is mounting about the Denmark international’s situation and we will soon need to know a little more about who the target will be to replace him.<\/p>\n

I expect central midfielders like Elliott Anderson and Carlos Baleva to still be the priority, but this is clearly the start of something.<\/p>\n
