Manchester United

will need to accelerate their plans to add a new left-winger if they are to acquire their top target this summer.

With

head coach Ruben Amorim letting go of all of United’s left wingers,

Michael Carrick

had to make do with makeshift options when he took over from the Portuguese.

His ploy of utilising

Matheus Cunha

and Patrick Dorgu out wide paid

handsome dividends

, with INEOS even contemplating

shifting the Dane to a more attacking role

from the coming season.

However, the head coach has managed to instil some sense into United’s co-owners, who will now try to find a specialist option in the market.

Reintegrating Marcus Rashford into the fold could save INEOS millions, but

both parties would prefer to go their separate ways

after what transpired two seasons ago.

The Mancunian’s sale will count as pure profit, and the Red Devils

plan to utilise that money

to try to bring in

Crysencio Summerville

from West Ham.

Despite the Hammers’ relegation, it has not been easy negotiating with the London team, as United saw when they failed in their pursuit of

Mateus Fernandes

The Old Trafford side will be keen to avoid a similar scenario playing out, but interest in the Dutchman is rising by the minute.

Following his exploits in the World Cup with the Netherlands, the 24-year-old is being eyed by multiple English sides, with Serie A giants AS Roma now entering the picture.

According to

Gianluca Di Marzio

, the Giallorossi are preparing to make their move for

“Roma are making moves for

. The West Ham winger has always been popular with the club, and they’re making an attempt to sign him.

“The winger is fresh off a World Cup appearance with the Netherlands, where he scored two goals and provided two assists in four games.”

There is no mention of a fee, but the Italian side

might struggle to pay the Dutchman’s wages

. However, the longer United dilly-dally, the greater the chance of them missing out. The ball is now in INEOS’ court.
