Crysencio Summerville is said to be the ‘most realistic’ attacking signing for Manchester United this summer.
That’s according to Ben Jacobs (via The United Stand), who adds that the West Ham star is a feasible option due to his price being low and the fact that he’d be ‘keen’ on a move to Old Trafford.
Crysencio Summerville: The state of play amid United links
Summerville is on the back of a stellar World Cup campaign with the Netherlands, which saw him return two goals and two assists in four appearances on the biggest stage.
He played a pivotal role in the Dutch squad making it to the Round of 32, where they were then knocked out by Morocco on penalties.
Now that the 24-year-old’s international commitments have concluded for the summer, he will already be pondering where his future may lie ahead of 2026/2027 getting underway.
| Club | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| West Ham | 56 | 8 | 7 |
| Leeds United | 89 | 25 | 13 |
It goes without saying that a player of Summerville’s calibre will be keen to secure a move back to the top flight in the aftermath of West Ham’s relegation, and United can provide him the chance to do so – as well as to play in the Champions League for the first time in his career.
West Ham resigned to losing Summerville before transfer deadline
The Irons have already facilitated an £85 million deal for Mateus Fernandes, so will perhaps be keen to sell Summerville, having already conceded that he wants out, in order to start utilising the funds on the duo’s replacements.

In the meantime, United are working on a solution to Marcus Rashford’s situation, as any pursuit of the Hammers star may hinge on their academy graduate being sold.
Both occupy the same position on the left flank, but Rashford’s exorbitant £325,000-a-week wages would prevent United from adding another player in that department.
