Crysencio Summerville has emerged as a leading left-wing target for Manchester United this summer, according to Sky Sports News, with his status at West Ham attracting significant interest from the club.

United's primary transfer focus remains on reinforcing their midfield, but Summerville has also secured a firm place on their shortlist as they weigh options across multiple positions.

World Cup showing boosts Summerville's stock

The West Ham winger caught the eye during the FIFA World Cup 2026 with Netherlands, scoring against Japan on his tournament debut before Netherlands were eliminated by Morocco on Monday night.

His exit from the competition brings his club future sharply into focus, and Manchester United are among several Premier League sides monitoring the situation.

Rashford's future holds the key

United's pursuit of a new left-sided forward is directly tied to what happens with Marcus Rashford. For now, Rashford is expected to return to training once his post-World Cup break concludes — a timeline that could extend well into August depending on England's progress in the tournament.

Rashford has expressed a desire to rejoin Barcelona, who are keen to take him on loan again. However, Manchester United have made clear they have no interest in facilitating that arrangement, leaving his future unresolved. Other clubs are also circling.

United have signalled openness to additions either on the left flank or at left-back, with Patrick Dorgu's versatility across both positions influencing their approach. The quality of players available on the market is also shaping their thinking.

Other targets in the frame

Morgan Rogers remains a priority target, though Aston Villa have no intention of selling him and his valuation is substantial. Iliman Ndiaye and Mathias Fernandes-Pardo are also under consideration as United cast a wide net.

Ugarte injury assessment underway

In midfield, Manuel Ugarte's injury, sustained while representing Uruguay at the FIFA World Cup 2026, is not expected to significantly disrupt United's transfer plans. FIFA's insurance scheme will cover his wages in full during his recovery period.

Sky Sports News understands the only realistic loan option for Ugarte had been a move to Ajax — a secondary preference for the player — until the injury ruled that out. United expect him to retain sellable value on his return, most likely next year, with his contract running until 2029.

The club intends to conduct their own medical assessment of Ugarte in the coming days to establish a clear picture of his rehabilitation timeline.
