Carrick told brilliant Dutchman will be great signing for Man United
Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt has backed a summer move for West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville, adding fresh momentum to growing speculation linking the Dutch international with a switch to Old Trafford.
Manchester United are understood to be monitoring Summerville’s situation closely as they assess attacking reinforcements ahead of the new season. Reports suggest the club has made enquiries regarding the winger, who has emerged as one of the standout performers for the Netherlands during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Summerville’s impressive international displays have further elevated his reputation following a difficult campaign for West Ham, who suffered relegation from the Premier League.
Despite the club’s struggles, the former Leeds United winger still contributed important goals and assists, attracting interest from several clubs across Europe. West Ham are believed to value the player at around £50 million and remain reluctant to sanction his departure unless their valuation is met.
Speaking about the rumours, Butt praised Summerville’s ability and believes he fits the profile of player United should be targeting as they rebuild their squad. However, the former England international also warned that consistency remains the winger’s biggest challenge.
Speaking to Paddy Power, Butt explained: “He’s an explosive player, he’s good to watch, but I don’t think he’s consistent enough. However, the money shouldn’t be a lot to get him, and United have to build a squad.
“It can’t be all about going and getting the superstar signings. Summerville was brilliant for the Netherlands in the first game, so he could potentially start every week for Man United.”
According to recent reports, United have already opened preliminary discussions over a potential transfer and are prepared to offer Summerville a long-term contract should negotiations progress.
The move is viewed as part of a broader recruitment strategy aimed at adding younger, Premier League-proven talent capable of contributing immediately while also offering long-term value.
The uncertainty surrounding Marcus Rashford’s future could also influence United’s pursuit. The England forward continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford, prompting the club to explore alternatives on the left side of attack. Summerville is considered an attractive option due to his pace, direct running and familiarity with English football.
While no formal offer has yet been submitted, interest in the Dutch winger appears genuine, and United are expected to continue evaluating the situation throughout the summer window.
With Butt’s endorsement and Summerville’s stock continuing to rise on the international stage, the winger is emerging as one of the most closely watched names in Manchester United‘s transfer plans.
