Manchester United have reportedly opened talks to sign West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville, with the club now ready to move seriously for one of the Premier League’s most wanted wide players.
According to journalist Nicolo Schira, United have offered the Dutch attacker a contract running until 2031, with an option to extend it until 2032.

That kind of proposal shows this is not just a short-term squad move. United clearly see him as a player who could become part of their long-term attacking rebuild.
The 24-year-old has been linked with several clubs this summer, especially after West Ham’s relegation increased the chances of key players leaving.
TEAMtalk has reported that United are looking at a potential £50m deal, while also considering a double raid involving midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
Man United need a wide attacker this summer
United’s interest is easy to understand. Their attack needs more pace, unpredictability and one-v-one threat. Summerville offers all of that.
He can play from the left, drive at defenders and stretch teams in transition, qualities United have lacked too often in recent seasons.
His World Cup involvement with the Netherlands has also helped raise his profile.
Strong performances on that stage could make West Ham’s valuation even firmer.
The Dutchman scored in his team’s first match of the World Cup, catching the attention of top Premier League clubs.
