Man Utd target two forwards who fit Amorim's demands of 'fearless and physical'

Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Callum Hudson-Odoi and Antoine Semenyo as part of their plans to reshape the attack during what is expected to be a very busy summer transfer window.

According to ESPN, manager Ruben Amorim is keen to bring in players who offer versatility, directness, and high work rate — all qualities found in both Hudson-Odoi and Semenyo.

After a dismal domestic season, United are looking for fresh attacking energy to support or potentially replace underperforming forwards like Rasmus Højlund, Antony, and Jadon Sancho, all of whom have come under scrutiny for inconsistent form.

Callum Hudson-Odoi, 24, has enjoyed a revival at Nottingham Forest following his permanent departure from Chelsea.

The winger has registered 7 goals and 4 assists this season and has impressed scouts with his sharp dribbling, defensive work rate, and ability to play across the front three.

United view him as a low-cost but high-upside option — especially given his Premier League experience and age.

Antoine Semenyo, meanwhile, has been one of the standout performers for Bournemouth.

The 25-year-old Ghana international has 9 goals and 6 assists this season and is known for his explosive pace and physicality. United have already been linked with a potential £70 million move for the forward, though it remains to be seen if Bournemouth would accept a lower bid or whether United could offload players to make room in the squad and budget.

United are reportedly prioritizing value-for-money signings this summer, focusing on players already proven in the Premier League. Both Hudson-Odoi and Semenyo fit that model, especially with Financial Fair Play considerations and the club's Europa League position affecting the size of their budget.

A source close to the club told ESPN: “Amorim wants players who are fearless, who press high, and who can run all day. That’s exactly what Hudson-Odoi and Semenyo offer.”

With a major squad shake-up looming at Old Trafford, these two names could be central to United’s attacking evolution in the post-Amorim transition.
