An outlandish swap deal between Man United and their Premier League rivals could work a treat this summer

Manchester United are heading towards a busy summer transfer window, with several significant changes on the horizon. They have set their sights on a number of exciting new talents but they are also looking to offload a list of their own players.

This now leaves United facing the drawing board, deciding which avenue to go down to offload the England international. We’ve come up with an intriguing lane the Red Devils could explore, and it involves doing business with Bournemouth. It’s something of an eyebrow-raiser, and it would definitely surprise many if it came to fruition, but there’s some method behind the madness.

United are looking to build on their attack and have eyed Antoine Semenyo as one of their leading targets. A number of reports have claimed that Ruben Amorim and co are keen on signing the Bournemouth star with a valuation of £70 million mentioned.

However, this figure may be a bit out of United’s price range, especially with other signings needed and their Champions League hopes resting solely on whether they can win the Europa League or not.

The Red Devils could knock down the price by offering a deal involving Sancho. With his future lying elsewhere, United are looking to finalise a deal. Chelsea still have an obligation to sign Sancho permanently for a fee in the region of £25m. However, it is looking increasingly likely that the Blues will instead look to cut their losses, and stump up the £5m fee required to terminate that clause, thus returning Sancho to United.

Were that to happen, United could suggest a swap deal consisting of £40-45 million plus Sancho to finalise a deal for Semenyo. The Cherries have been enjoying a solid season and will be looking to kick on after the summer. However, they look set to lose some key players, including defenders Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen. Should Semenyo also decide he wants to leave, Bournemouth will need to bring in a new attacker.

Due to his tricky time in the Premier League so far, many forget how lethal Sancho can be in attack. During his last season with Borussia Dortmund, the winger contributed 16 goals and 20 assists in all tournaments. When firing on all cylinders, Sancho is a force to be reckoned with, and would probably be one of the first names on the team sheet.

How likely is the player swap deal?
