Manchester United have already secured Atalanta’s Ederson as their first major signing of this summer. But they’re not stopping there.

Michael Carrick is looking to add more quality to his midfield, and according to Fabrizio Romano United are keen on one of the summer’s most coveted targets.

Fabrizio Romano backs Man U for Fernandes bid

“The contacts are going to continue in the next hours and days for Mateus Fernandes,” declared Romano on his Youtube channel.

“Man Utd are there. Man Utd want to get the player, and are in direct contact with the player’s camp. Fernandes is very keen on a move to Manchester United. The discussions on the player side are going well, both with the player and his camp.”

With other potential suitors distracted by other deals, United could be trying to land this one before anyone else can get involved. Romano insists they won’t rush into anything, even with teams as big as PSG and Real Madrid being mentioned as potential options.

West Ham are said to be holding out for a fee close to £80m.

Talks held: Man United working on signing Premier League duo for under £140m

Manchester United have reportedly started work on a double transfer raid for West Ham United stars Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville.

The Red Devils have identified the Hammers duo as key targets and some discussions already seem to have taken place.

However, West Ham want as much as £140m for the pair, while Man Utd are aiming to pay less than that, according to the Daily Mail.

Fernandes and Summerville look like they could go a long way to strengthening Michael Carrick’s United squad, but it remains to be seen if they’d really represent good value for money for £140m.

Manchester United looking to raid West Ham

It makes sense that West Ham are facing a fight to keep some of their star names after their relegation from the Premier League to the Championship.

Fernandes looked particularly impressive for the east Londoners despite their disappointing campaign, and the Times recently mentioned that he could cost around £80m as United look to be the favourites for his signature.

That perhaps means West Ham are looking for £60m for Summerville, but that doesn’t necessarily look like great value for money.

While Fernandes has really stood out as an elite young talent, Summerville only got seven goals and two assists from out wide in the season just gone – far from the kind of numbers that would justify a £60m fee.

It could be that the Dutchman would be able to do more in a stronger team with better players around him, but it also looks like a gamble for a position MUFC aren’t even that desperate to strengthen in.

United signed a whole new front three last summer by bringing in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, so they’d do well to focus their efforts elsewhere instead of spending big money on someone who wouldn’t necessarily even get into their starting XI on a regular basis.
