After seeing Tottenham Hotspur beat them to the signing of Mateus Fernandes, Man United have now begun working on a deal for a winger who has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs.Until the start of this week, several sources kept insisting that Man United were confident that Fernandes would choose them over Spurs.However, Tottenham put £85m on the table for the Portugal international, blowing Man United out of the water in the race for the 21-year-old.Roberto De Zerbi played a key role in convincing the midfielder to come to Spurs, and the Lilywhites have now discovered that they could face another transfer battle with the Red Devils for a former teammate of Fernandes.Photo by Kevin Hodgson/MI News/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesMan United open talks over a deal for Tottenham target Crysencio SummervilleFernandes is not the West Ham player that the Tottenham hierarchy have contemplated poaching from their relegated rivals, with Spurs also exploring a move for Crysencio Summerville earlier in the window.Some outlets even previously said that Tottenham are leading the race for the Dutch winger, but the speculation has gone quiet over the last few days.Now, journalist Ben Jacobs has taken to social media to reveal that United have begun talks with the Hammers regarding Summerville.The journalist explained, however, that an offer for the Netherlands international from Old Trafford would be contingent on Marcus Rashford leaving the club.Jacobs wrote on X: “Manchester United open talks with West Ham over Crysencio Summerville. Direct club-to-club contact. Classified by Manchester United sources as exploratory at this stage, but the Dutch winger is high in MUFC’s thinking. Any bid could be contingent on Marcus Rashford being sold.”🚨 Exclusive: Manchester United open talks with West Ham over Crysencio Summerville.Direct club-to-club contact.Classified by Manchester United sources as exploratory at this stage, but the Dutch winger high in #MUFC thinking.

It will be interesting to see if De Zerbi’s men pounce on the 28-year-old if he has a change of heart.READ MORE: Two Man United legends left jealous of Tottenham’s ‘top class’ midfield upgradesThe post Man United open talks with second Tottenham target after Mateus Fernandes snub appeared first on Spurs Web.
