Antoine Semenyo reveals why he chose Man City over Manchester United

Antoine Semenyo has explained why he chose to join Manchester City instead of Manchester United during the January transfer window, citing the quality of the coach, players, and playing system as decisive factors.

United had shown interest in the Ghana forward early in the winter window, at a time when Rúben Amorim was in charge at Old Trafford. However, a period of instability followed, with Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick overseeing the team in quick succession as United shifted back to a back-four system. Despite injuries and a lack of natural wide options, the club did not return to the market.

Semenyo, who eventually completed a move to City, said he took time to reflect before making his decision.

“I was very quiet, praying a lot and making sure I made the right decision,” he said in comments reported by City Xtra. “The environment is very important. You want top coaches, top players, and a healthy setting. That’s what drew me to Man City.”

The forward added that City’s system suits his strengths, allowing him to attack space, get into goalscoring positions, and play with freedom.

“I’m enjoying it. I’m in a system that helps me get through on goal and shoot in the box. That’s what I want,” Semenyo said.
