Antonie Semenyo finally reveals when he will be in London Carrington to sign the supposed 5 year deal with Man United -Amid speculation that He has turned down City lucrative offer

“There’s a clear reason I turned down City for Manchester United — and on [DATE], I’ll officially become a United player.”

Those words alone were enough to send Manchester United supporters into a frenzy.

Antoine Semenyo has finally spoken out amid intense rumours linking him with both Manchester City and Manchester United, and his comments have completely flipped the narrative.

For weeks, reports suggested City were prepared to go all out for the Bournemouth forward — higher wages, a smoother path to silverware, and a place in Pep Guardiola’s well-oiled machine. On paper, it looked like the obvious move.

But Semenyo walked away.

And now he’s explained why.

“Money was never the issue. I wanted purpose. I wanted responsibility. I wanted history.”

That single statement has already struck a chord with the Old Trafford faithful.

According to multiple reports, Semenyo has agreed to a five-year contract with Manchester United and is expected at Carrington on [DATE] to undergo his medical before finalising the deal. The transfer is believed to be fully agreed, with only a formal announcement left to make.

Those close to the negotiations say United’s long-term vision, the manager’s belief in him, and the promise of a leading role — rather than being just another option in rotation — were decisive factors.

“At City, you fit into the system. At United, you carry the narrative.”

That contrast sums up his thinking.

Semenyo is said to crave the spotlight that comes with wearing the United shirt — the scrutiny after defeats, the adoration after big performances, and the roar of Old Trafford on decisive nights. He wants intensity, not comfort. Noise, not quiet efficiency.

Inside Carrington, the belief is that United are landing a statement player — direct, powerful, fearless — a forward made for high-tempo transitions and pressure-filled moments. A player who embraces the weight of expectation rather than runs from it.

City supporters have been left shocked.

United fans are already imagining what’s to come.

And across the league, rivals are paying close attention.

If everything is completed as expected, this won’t be viewed as just another signing. It will be seen as a declaration.

Antoine Semenyo didn’t opt for the simplest route.

He chose Manchester United.

Red Devils… are you ready? 👀
