Manchester United are reportedly planning a double transfer swoop worth £130 million for two West Ham United stars, Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville, following the Hammers' relegation from the Premier League.
Midfield Priority
Central midfield remains United's primary focus in the transfer window. The Red Devils have already finalised a deal for Atalanta's Ederson and are now targeting Fernandes as a key addition. Talks with Fernandes' representatives over an £80 million transfer have begun, and the 21-year-old is expected to leave West Ham after their relegation.
Fernandes Enthusiastic About Move
The Portuguese midfielder is reportedly keen on joining Manchester United, and he may not be the only West Ham player heading to Old Trafford. United are also pursuing Crysencio Summerville, who is valued at £50 million.
Summerville's Appeal
Summerville, 24, has impressed for the Netherlands at the World Cup, scoring a stunning goal in a 2-2 draw with Japan. His adaptability makes him an attractive option for United, should they seek a winger this summer. However, bolstering midfield remains the club's foremost concern.
Rashford's Future Uncertain
The fate of Marcus Rashford will influence United's pursuit of Summerville. Rashford joined Barcelona on loan last summer with an option to buy, but Barcelona's £70 million signing of Anthony Gordon has cast doubt on that deal. If Rashford returns to Old Trafford, United may not pursue another wide attacker.
United enjoyed a fruitful transfer window last summer, signing established Premier League attackers Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, who added a fresh dynamic to the frontline. Summerville, with three years left on his West Ham contract, would need no time to settle into Premier League football.
