Spending mega money on new attacking talents hasn\u2019t been alien to Manchester United<\/a> in recent times – as seen by their efforts in last summer\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Red Devils splashed over \u00a3200m on three new forward reinforcements, but it\u2019s safe to say, all three players managed to hit the ground running at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha all arrived in Manchester a little over 12 months ago, with the aforementioned trio netting 32 Premier League<\/a> goals between them.<\/p>\n

They were the only players in Michael Carrick<\/a>\u2019s senior ranks to reach double figures, subsequently helping the club secure a return to Champions League football after a two-year absence.<\/p>\n

Despite the impact of the attacking stars at the Theatre of Dreams, INEOS appear to want added additions this window to hand the manager the needed strength in depth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Man Utd enter talks to sign \u00a350m attacking talent<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

Over the last couple of weeks, United have been linked with a whole host of attacking options ahead of the opening of the transfer window on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

AC Milan winger Rafael Leao has been mentioned as one potential option<\/a>, with the player himself even said to be open to a move to the Premier League this window.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"AC\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Portuguese international is said to be valued at around \u00a340m at present, with Arsenal another English outfit in the race for the 27-year-old\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

Leao isn\u2019t the only player to appear on the Red Devils transfer shortlist at present, with West Ham United star Crysencio Summerville<\/a> another option being considered at present.<\/p>\n

According to TEAMtalk, United have made their move to sign the player, already entering discussions<\/a> with the recently-relegated club over the possibility of securing a move for the 24-year-old this summer.<\/p>\n

‘Formal’ enquiries have already been lodged, while it’s further reported that the player himself would like a return to the Premier League this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur another club who have reached out to his representatives in recent days.<\/p>\n

Any deal would likely cost any interested party a pretty penny this summer, as Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo\u2019s men have placed a \u00a350m asking price on the attacker\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Why Summerville would be just like Rashford for United<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

United supporters were left confused last summer, after Ruben Amorim decided to loan forward Marcus Rashford<\/a> out to Barcelona, with the deal including an option to buy.<\/p>\n

The Englishman massively fell down the pecking order during the former manager\u2019s tenure at Old Trafford – but the 28-year-old managed to star during his temporary spell in Spain.<\/p>\n

During his 49 outings across all competitions last term, the winger registered 25 combined goals and assists and helped Hansi Flick\u2019s men secure LaLiga title glory.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s been confirmed that Barca will not be triggering his option to buy, which has thrown the attacker\u2019s long-term future at Old Trafford into question once again.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely Rashford will be permanently offloaded during the summer months, but his goal against Croatia in the World Cup opener on Wednesday night is evidence of the talent he still possesses.<\/p>\n

A move for Summerville could see United land their next version of the Englishman, with the West Ham star possessing a very similar skill set to the Red Devils academy graduate.<\/p>\n

Both are excellent left-wing options who love to cut inside onto their favoured right-foot and often find the top corner – as demonstrated by the Dutchman throughout 2025\/26.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old netted seven goals in his 34 appearances across all competitions – but it wasn\u2019t enough to secure the club\u2019s Premier League future come the end of May.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"summerville\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Summerville, who\u2019s been dubbed \u201cunstoppable<\/a>\u201d by boss Esp\u00edrito Santo, completed a staggering 1.9 successful dribbles per 90 – ranking him in the top 18% of players in Europe\u2019s top-five leagues.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned tally is higher than that of Rashford, which highlights the Hammers\u2019 ability to create carnage when having the chance to run at the opposition in attacking areas.<\/p>\n

He also managed to draw 2.4 fouls per 90 in the Premier League last season, as the opposition often had to resort to fouling the attacker to prevent him from causing any lasting damage.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"summerville\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

His 23% cross completion rate and 28% shot-on-target accuracy showcase his ability to provide the end product to his mazy runs – something which Rashford has been questioned over in recent times.<\/p>\n

\u00a350m would be yet another expensive addition for United, but it\u2019s one that could provide Carrick with the added depth and quality he\u2019s hunting for in attacking areas.<\/p>\n

Rashford\u2019s departure would be a sad end to an unbelievable career in Manchester, but a deal for Summerville would undoubtedly soften any blow this summer.<\/p>\n
