Bournemouth attacker Marcus Tavernier has emerged as a shock target for Manchester United ahead of the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.
The Red Devils were determined to land Antoine Semenyo from the Cherries last winter, but they were unable to convince him.
Semenyo chose to join Manchester City from the South Coast outfit and he has proved a huge hit for Pep Guardiola‘s side.
United could still pursue another signing from the Cherries and Daily Mail claim that they are eyeing a deal for Tavernier.
The 26-year-old can operate on either wing or in the number 10 role. He has already made 10 goal contributions this campaign.
He has been one of the standout players for the Cherries, and United believe he could be prised away for around £40 million.
The Red Devils could face competition from Newcastle United, who are likewise keeping tabs on the highly-rated attacker.
Bournemouth are likely to sanction his sale for the right price.
