For many years, Manchester United<\/a> have constantly had to sit back and watch local rivals Manchester City claim Premier League<\/a> glory whilst they languish lower down the table.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Red Devils haven\u2019t finished above their noisy neighbours since their last league title triumph back in 2012\/13, with no manager able to emulate the feats achieved by Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n

During such a period, United have managed to claim numerous victories over the Citizens, with Michael Carrick<\/a> managing to do so during his first game in temporary charge.<\/p>\n

However, added reinforcements are desperately needed within the senior ranks at Old Trafford this summer if they are to mount a charge for top spot in 2026\/27.<\/p>\n

As a result, various names have been touted with possible transfers to join the Red Devils, with one area of the pitch emerging as a key area of improvement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Man Utd to make offer to land Premier League sensation<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

Over the last couple of weeks, United have been targeting reinforcements within the central midfield department, with Elliot Anderson emerging as the club\u2019s leading target.<\/p>\n

The Nottingham Forest star has enjoyed a breakthrough season at the City Ground this term, subsequently being linked<\/a> with a whole host of top European clubs.<\/p>\n

\n

However, the Red Devils still see the 23-year-old as their main central midfield target, even with Vitor Pereira\u2019s side demanding a fee in the region of \u00a3100m for his signature.<\/p>\n

Despite the interest in a new midfielder this summer, the backline could also be bolstered during the off-season, with Bournemouth star Marcos Senesi one option being considered.<\/p>\n

According to TEAMtalk, Man Utd are ready to offer the Argentine a contract<\/a> at Old Trafford, with his current deal at the Vitality set to expire at the end of June.<\/p>\n

The report also states that Chelsea and Liverpool are just two other English sides keen on the 28-year-old, with Barcelona also keen on a potential free transfer.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are said to be willing to step up their efforts to secure the centre-back\u2019s signature, as the player\u2019s preference could be to remain in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Why Senesi would be United\u2019s very own Semenyo<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

As previously mentioned, United fans have often had to sit and watch City succeed, but they\u2019ve also beaten them to the signature of countless players – including winger Antoine Semenyo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"Semenyo-Man-City\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Ghanaian international was of huge interest from the Red Devils, but ultimately, he moved to the Etihad and has since made a major impact within Pep Guardiola\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has registered eight goals and three assists in his 19 appearances for the Citizens, subsequently showing United what they missed out on.<\/p>\n

Given the levels achieved across the city, many fans will still wish the winger had completed a move to Old Trafford, but unfortunately, he will remain yet another case of what could have been.<\/p>\n

However, the United hierarchy have the chance to land their own version of the attacker, with a move for Senesi allowing the Red Devils to complete a similar transfer.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Whilst the pair operate in different positions, a deal for the Argentine would see the club landing a talent from Bournemouth who\u2019s ready for the next step in his career.<\/p>\n

Throughout the 2025\/26 season, the 28-year-old has constantly managed to impress, with his underlying stats highlighting his quality within defensive areas.<\/p>\n

Senesi has featured in all but one league game so far this term, subsequently registering 11.9 defensive contributions per 90 in the Premier League to date.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned figure ranks him in the top 5% of all defenders in the division, which would undoubtedly provide the Red Devils with the quality they need within the backline.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"AFC\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

He\u2019s also made 7.2 clearances per 90 whilst also making 1.6 interceptions per 90, with both of the stats also ranking him in the top 7% of defenders in England\u2019s top division.<\/p>\n

Other tallies, such as 4.9 ball recoveries and 1.8 tackles made per 90, also highlight his quality in the defensive third – with the Argentine more than capable of thriving at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

In possession, Senesi has also impressed, subsequently registering 0.7 chances created per 90 this campaign – a tally which places him in the top 2% of players in his position this term.<\/p>\n

Given his availability on a free transfer this summer, a deal for the Bournemouth star must be a no-brainer, with the defender capable of becoming a fan-favourite in Manchester.<\/p>\n

With interest from the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool, the United hierarchy will have to work quickly to avoid missing out on a deal to one of their bitter rivals.<\/p>\n

However, should he make the move to Old Trafford and make a similar impact to Semenyo at City, it would be a transfer that could certainly help the Red Devils fight for a league title next season.<\/p>\n
