Manchester United abandons Summerville to sign a young talent! Poaching Tottenham's left winger, reportedly spotted at Carrington on Friday.

Manchester United is currently in talks with Tottenham to acquire 18-year-old talent Tynan Torres Thompson. Because the young Englishman signed a professional contract in May 2025, the discussions must involve a transfer fee rather than merely paying compensation for development—this is truly a "challenge"!

The successful signing of center-back Ayden Heaven from Arsenal for £1.5 million has been a proud talking point for Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS, so they are keen to replicate the move 18 months later by poaching an undervalued young player from another North London giant, Tottenham.

United scouts have been monitoring Thompson for a long time, and it is reportedly confirmed last week that he can be transferred. The process is now being accelerated, with a medical scheduled first, followed by completing the transfer formalities. The club intends to negotiate quickly, as Hamburg from the Bundesliga are also interested, and the Red Devils want to avoid a bidding war that could increase the fee.

Sources from Tottenham have disclosed that Thompson was already at Manchester United's Carrington training ground on Friday. It is said he left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium because he felt it would be difficult to get opportunities there, and he wanted to try his luck at United.

Thompson has made seven appearances for England's Under-18 national team. He is a left-sided player who plays for Tottenham's U21 side. Born in London, he joined Tottenham at a young age and is described as a highly impactful, direct, and modern-style winger.

He has already reached a height of 187cm and is often compared to Marcus Rashford. Last season, the "Tottenham Rashford" scored 13 goals and provided 6 assists in all competitions.

Manchester United was once rumored to be bringing in a new left winger during the summer window, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Due to the blockage of Rashford's permanent transfer, the plan has been put on hold. The Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, who was previously linked with the Red Devils, may now join another club.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Roma has already made the first bid, with Aston Villa and Tottenham also showing interest. The 25-year-old West Ham winger has given up waiting for a potential offer from Manchester United that may not come, and has agreed to join another team.

Romano said: "Roma has offered €40 million plus add-ons (€5 million), but West Ham rejected it. Roma will continue negotiations and prepare a new bid. Summerville has already opened the door to joining them. Villa are also interested after selling Rogers. However, first, we need to see what Roma does next."

Roma is making every effort to sign Summerville, hoping to complete the deal on Monday or Tuesday of next week. Their negotiations with the player are nearly final, and Summerville has fully agreed to the transfer. He is also positive about the plan presented by Roma manager Gasperini, and personal terms are basically settled.

Aston Villa has sold Morgan Rogers to Chelsea for a staggering £117 million. After a frenzy of bidding for new midfielders, they will now enter the battle for wingers, and Emery's team is well-funded. As for Manchester United, although Ratcliffe also has a budget, it cannot match the same spending level.

In particular, Rashford, who has the highest weekly wage in the squad, has refused to transfer. He has told the club that he will not accept offers from the Turkish Super Lig or the Saudi Professional League, and unless a "top European club" comes calling, he will stay at Manchester United. Manager Carrick is genuinely willing to work with Rashford during summer training to see his performance and attitude. The potential transfer of Rashford may be delayed until the very end of the summer window.
