Manchester United have worked aggressively towards strengthening their midfield in recent days.

They have struck deals to sign Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, and according to The Athletic, there is space for a further addition in the middle of the park.

Alex Scott, Felix Nmecha, Carlos Baleba and Sander Berge are thought to be among the names that United have considered signing this summer.

may still seek to strengthen the left-hand side of their attack.

In that pursuit, West Ham United winger

Crysencio Summerville

is thought to be a leading target.

“Exploratory talks have previously been held with West Ham,” the report states.

The 24-year-old Dutchman was one of West Ham’s standout players last season, recording five goals and four assists in 31 Premier League appearances.

Described as

“incredible”

by West Ham teammate Jean-Clair Todibo, the explosive winger also enjoyed a strong World Cup campaign. The Netherlands international was directly involved in four goals in North America.

Earlier this month, The Peoples Person relayed a

report

claiming Summerville only wants to join the Red Devils.

The Hammers star has already made this clear to his representatives despite interest from several clubs.

It is claimed Summerville sees United as the “ultimate destination, believing it’s the place where he can compete for the Champions League and the Premier League.”

However, The Athletic underlines that any move for a left-winger may hinge on the future of Marcus Rashford.

The England star will be available for pre-season, but an exit before the close of the window is still possible.
