Manchester United will have to accelerate their pursuit of Crysencio Summerville amid rising competition.
According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, AS Roma are set to send a new bid to West Ham United for Summerville.
Their initial bid of €40 million plus €5m was swiftly turned down by West Ham yesterday.
Summerville is also pushing for the transfer after making it clear that he wants to leave West Ham following their relegation to the Championship.
United made enquiries about the Dutch international last month and have continued monitoring his situation closely.
The Red Devils remain firmly in the market for a new left winger before the transfer window closes.
Carrick is believed to be targeting a traditional wide player capable of stretching defences, beating full-backs and creating space for his teammates.
Summerville is predominantly a left winger. He bagged seven goals and provided five assists in 34 games across all competitions.
He further enhanced his reputation with an outstanding FIFA World Cup campaign after excelling from the right wing.
Summerville finished the tournament with two goals and two assists in just four matches, proving he can deliver on the biggest stage.
Roma have a keen interest in signing Summerville and are also linked with Chelsea ace Alejandro Garnacho.
United are expected to intensify their search for a new winger once a final decision is made regarding Marcus Rashford’s future.
However, INEOS may ultimately have to wait until the closing stages of the transfer window before resolving the long-standing issue on the left flank.
