Fabrizio Romano provides massive update on United’s pursuit of goal-scoring World Cup winger

Manchester United fans have experienced a rather frustrating summer transfer window so far. Early frustration United agreed a deal early on when it was reported that a fee had been agreed for Brazilian midfielder Ederson. Nonetheless, since then, they have publicly missed out on numerous midfield targets. Elliot Anderson has signed for Manchester City, whilst Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali have gone to Tottenham Hotspur. United have also been linked to a winger, and reports have surfaced over the last few weeks that United are keen on West Ham United attacker Crysencio Summerville. Summerville update United are reported to be keen on the player, and it seems inevitable that the player will leave the recently relegated side. Summerville has attracted the attention of numerous other teams, including Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. It was reported earlier in the week that United had intensified their interest in Summerville and had ramped up talks with his club, but journalist Fabrizio Romano has poured cold water over this news. Rumours debunked Commenting on the potential deal, Romano claimed, “United’s interest in Summerville is not as advanced as some reports suggest. No talks have opened.” The Italian reporter also asserted that, “my understanding is that Manchester United are focused on signing midfielders. They appreciate Summerville and he is under consideration, but if Marcus Rashford doesn’t leave, a move for Summerville will become complicated.” There had been recent reports that the club and Rashford may be open to continuing together after his permanent move to FC Barcelona failed to materialise. Nonetheless, recent comments from the United winger before England’s World Cup tie with Mexico have suggested he is still thinking about leaving Old Trafford, just after the tournament is finished.
