Incredibly, Semenyo has now scored against Manchester United in both league meetings this season, having netted in Bournemouth’s stunning 3-0 victory at Old Trafford earlier in the campaign.
His consistent performances against one of England’s most storied clubs have not gone unnoticed among fans and pundits alike.
Bournemouth's steady rise
The result leaves Bournemouth sitting 10th in the Premier League standings with 50 points after 34 matches, a remarkable position considering their early-season struggles.
Manager Andoni Iraola has built a competitive, fearless side, and Semenyo has been at the heart of their resurgence.
In contrast, Manchester United’s draw sees them languishing in 14th place with just 39 points from the same number of games, an alarming slump for Erik ten Hag’s side.
For Bournemouth, the draw against United was another statement of how far they have come, with Semenyo playing a leading role.
Fans shower Semenyo with praise
Following his goal, fans took to social media, particularly X, to heap praise on Semenyo.
Many highlighted his impressive record against United, with one fan cheekily writing:
"You own Man United."
Another post, celebrating his connection with the club, read:
"He always loved Bournemouth,"
Ghanaian fans also expressed their pride, with one user commenting:
"Our Ghanaian starboy, making the nation proud,"
Another person simply called it:
"Wonderful goal."
Bright future ahead for Semenyo
With four games remaining in the season, Semenyo has the opportunity to push his goal tally into double figures, which would be a landmark achievement that would further cement his breakout year.

The in-form goal-scorer remains a vital part of Otto Addo's Black Stars, who are aiming to make it to the 2026 FIFA World Cup after failing to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Semenyo netted Ghana's opener in the 5-0 spanking of Chad during Matchday five of the World Cup qualifiers on March 21 before helping the team to another victory against Madagascar in Morocco three days later.
