Manchester United have opened preliminary talks with West Ham United over a potential move for Dutch international winger Crysencio Summerville ahead of the new season. Initial discussions have already taken place between the two clubs, with Summerville emerging as one of the manager's top targets to strengthen the attacking department.
However, United's pursuit is still in its early stages, as the club's hierarchy is reportedly waiting to determine Marcus Rashford's future before submitting a formal offer. If Rashford leaves Old Trafford during this transfer window, Manchester United are expected to accelerate negotiations for Summerville.
In addition to reinforcing their attack, Manchester United are also searching for a new midfielder after failing to secure a deal for Mateus Fernandes. Their attention has now turned back to Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, who has returned to the club's shortlist of priority targets.
Reports suggest that personal terms between Manchester United and Baleba were agreed during last year's transfer window and remain valid. The next step depends on whether the club's decision-makers choose to proceed with an official approach for the Cameroon international.
If both deals are completed, Summerville would bring pace and creativity to Manchester United's attack, while Baleba is expected to strengthen the midfield, giving the club a more competitive squad heading into the new season.
