Antoine Semenyo plays a critical role for Manchester City at Old Trafford

Manchester City winger Antoine Semenyo enters the 199th Manchester derby today at Old Trafford as a key creative outlet for manager Enzo Maresca. Since his arrival from Bournemouth in the January transfer window, the Ghana international has solidified his place in the squad by providing support for Erling Haaland. While his dribbling and finishing have shown inconsistency this season, he has recorded two assists in five matches, including crosses that led to headers against Crystal Palace and Coventry City. Maresca credits Semenyo for his diligent work on and off the ball despite the winger occasionally losing possession. Today’s fixture serves as a significant test for the wide player, with the team relying on his pace and power to break down the Manchester United defense in search of points.
