Manchester United have registered their interest in West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville, making an initial enquiry regarding the conditions of a potential summer transfer.
According to The Athletic, the Old Trafford giants have Summerville on their shortlist and view him as a top target should they opt to strengthen the wide areas for Michael Carrick ahead of his first full season in charge.
The 24-year-old Dutchman is a highly appealing tactical option thanks to his explosive pace, low centre of gravity, and proven ability to operate on either flank.
Summerville made his name in English football with Leeds United before moving to the London Stadium, where his direct running quickly established him as one of the league’s most exciting wingers.
West Ham have set a £50 million price tag on their ‘unstoppable’ star asset as they prepare for life in the Championship.
For Manchester United, midfield remains the priority this summer, having bid farewell to Casemiro and with Manuel Ugarte also expected to depart.
The Red Devils are already in contact with West Ham over a deal for Mateus Fernandes, and talks for Summerville could run concurrently should United step up their interest.
Any deal for Summerville is largely contingent on Marcus Rashford’s situation, with the winger facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford after Barcelona opted against activating the option-to-buy clause in his loan deal.
United are not the only major club linked with Summerville this summer, with Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain also reportedly keen on a move.
Currently on international duty, Summerville was arguably the Netherlands’ best player in their 2-2 draw with Japan, where the winger scored a lovely curler.
