Manchester United are considering a move for West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville if Marcus Rashford leaves this summer. The report matters because it links United’s transfer plans directly to Rashford’s unresolved future and shows the club may need a replacement on the left side of attack. West Ham’s relegation has also made Summerville more attainable, potentially creating a relatively affordable option in the market.

Summerville, 24, is said to be available for about £30m, with West Ham willing to sell if they receive an acceptable offer; he still has three years left on his contract and was part of the Netherlands squad at the World Cup. Rashford, 28, has two years left on a deal worth £17.5m a year, but his relationship with United has deteriorated, leading to loan spells at Aston Villa and then Barcelona, even though he is currently expected to begin the season at Old Trafford. The article also says United have already spent an initial £82m on Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, and still want another midfielder, although targets such as Manu Koné, Alex Scott and Eduardo Camavinga are considered unlikely because each could cost around £80m.
