Antoine Semenyo says he is surprised by Manchester City’s plan to use him as a backup option for Erling Haaland. According to his remarks reported by multiple outlets, Semenyo is ready to play as a striker if required.
The comments come after Semenyo scores twice in City’s 5-3 match against Sunderland. The outlets describe the same game outcome and Semenyo’s two-goal contribution, framing it as evidence of his ability to operate in a forward role.
While both sources focus on Semenyo’s reaction to being considered for Haaland’s position, they largely align on the key details: the Manchester City-Sunderland scoreline and Semenyo’s scoring. No additional disagreements or differing circumstances are presented across the reports beyond the shared theme of his potential use in a striker capacity.
