Chelsea and Liverpool have also been linked with the Bournemouth stalwart, though only the latter are actively planning a move in the coming weeks, according to the iPaper .

The report adds that Anfield is Senesi’s ‘most likely destination’ , with the Merseyside outfit keen to get their hands on the ‘cultured’ centre-half amid ongoing defensive woes.
They are seeking a Premier League-proven option who can lessen the pressure on Virgil van Dijk’s shoulders to start every single fixture at almost 35 years old, and Senesi, 28, is considered a suitable candidate to do so.
His impending exit will come during yet another summer of changes at the Vitality Stadium, with manager Andoni Iraola also preparing to pull the curtains on his three-year tenure when his deal expires.
United being among Senesi’s suitors might have surprised some fans due to his age, which also perhaps explains why INEOS are reluctant to materialise their interest with a formal approach to the Argentine.
That being said, there is an acceptance that added depth at the back will be essential if the side secure Champions League qualification; there are already concerns over the fact Michael Carrick will have to deploy a youthful partnership of Ayden Heaven (19) and Leny Yoro (20) for the trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday following confirmation Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez will be suspended.

The latter will be unavailable for three games as things stand, pending the outcome of United’s red-card appeal, while Maguire is having to serve a further one-game ban for improper conduct in the aftermath of his dismissal against the Cherries.
