Manchester United can’t fully turn the attention towards the summer transfer window just yet, but targets are certainly emerging.
The Europa League has become the top priority for Manchester United in the final weeks of the season.
United beat Lyon 5-4 last week, staging a miraculous late fightback to book a semi-final clash against Athletic Club.
United now have a real chance to qualify for the Champions League next season and provide an instant transfer boost for the summer window.
Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap are wanted at United, with their respective release clauses at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town potentially set to be triggered this summer.
United face Bournemouth this weekend, and Ruben Amorim will have his eye on another key attacking target.

Bournemouth stance on Manchester United target Antoine Semenyo
Cunha and Delap would be two huge signings for United, but we can’t rule out more attacking additions.
Alejandro Garnacho could leave United this summer, whilst Antony continues to shine in Spain and is attracting interest.
Sky Sports reported last week that United are leading the race to sign Bournemouth ace Antoine Semenyo.
Amorim is ‘fond’ of Semenyo according to some reports, with the Ghanaian featuring highly on the list of summer transfer targets.
The Independent now claim that Bournemouth are expecting Semenyo to lave the club this summer.
Defenders Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez also are set to leave Bournemouth, with a potential Semenyo sale taking potential transfer revenue to over £150million.
United would have to cough up big money for Semenyo, and with deals for Cunha and Delap seemingly the top priority, the Bournemouth man may only be signed if other attackers leave.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also eyeing Semenyo for a summer move, meaning United will face huge competition for his signature.
Ruben Amorim will love Antoine Semenyo’s versatility
Amorim looked towards his bench against Lyon and realised he had very few options.
United need more athleticism in attack and Semenyo certainly provides that, alongside real versatility.
Semenyo can play on either flank, off the striker or up front and that flexibility would give United great options in the final third.
It’s a similar story with Cunha, who can play up front or in the two number 10 roles under Amorim.
Hailed as a ‘brilliant’ player by Michael Owen, as quoted by The Mirror, Semenyo has proven himself to be a threat in a number of positions.
That would certainly explain why Amorim is so fond of the Cherries star, but brining him to Old Trafford won’t come cheap.
