Manchester United have been linked with various transfers in the summer window, while Marcus Rashford has addressed his future
Manchester United face a pivotal transfer window as Michael Carrick seeks to bolster his squad. The club are preparing to return to the Champions League next season but must recruit effectively to compete across multiple competitions.
Brazilian midfielder Ederson has virtually completed his move from Atalanta as the club addresses Casemiro’s departure. Further midfield additions are expected, but United have seen several of their targets, including Mateus Fernandes, choose to join their Premier League rivals.
Carrick will be looking to strengthen multiple areas of his team this summer, with United’s wide options also facing scrutiny. Marcus Rashford’s future remains uncertain after Barcelona opted not to make his loan spell permanent.

The England international is currently due to return to United for pre-season following the World Cup. Meanwhile, the club have been linked with a potential move for West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville.
The winger delivered strong performances for the Hammers last season, despite the club’s relegation, and also made his mark on the international stage with the Netherlands this summer. Here, MEN Sport summarises some of the major stories surrounding United.
Marcus Rashford speaks out
Marcus Rashford has made clear that he will not make any decisions regarding his future during the World Cup. The England forward remains a United player after Barcelona opted against triggering their £26m purchase option earlier this summer.
“I was very clear with everyone involved before the World Cup, I wanted it (a move) done before,” Rashford explained. “If it’s not, I wanted it to wait until after. I want to be fully present in the moment. We’re fighting for something special.”
Rashford earned his place in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad after netting 14 goals and registering 14 assists for Barcelona. Meanwhile, United manager Michael Carrick relied on Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha as his left-sided options in Rashford’s absence last season.
Top wide target named
West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville is reportedly United’s primary wide target. The 24-year-old can now turn his full attention to his club future after the Netherlands were eliminated by Morocco on penalties in the round of 32 at the World Cup.
Sky Sports reports that Summerville is United’s “number one target” on the left flank, though they face competition from other Premier League clubs for his signature. The Dutchman has previously been valued at £50million.
The report states that United have held exploratory discussions with the Hammers, with clarity over Summerville’s future expected following his World Cup exit. The Dutchman contributed two goals and two assists across four appearances at the tournament.
