​Apart from their planned midfield revamp, Manchester United also have plans to upgrade their left wing position.Currently, the Red Devils do not have a specialist winger, which is why Michael Carrick had to utilise Matheus Cunha and Patrick Dorgu in that role.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBoth excelled, but INEOS are aware of the need to recruit a specialist ahead of United’s return to the Champions League.There are talks of reintegrating Marcus Rashford into the squad, and if that does not materialise, West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville has been identified as a top target.The only problem is that the 20-time English league champions can only pursue the Dutchman after the Mancunian is sold, and this delay has allowed rival suitors to edge ahead in the race.This is why INEOS are keeping alternative targets ready, with Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli emerging as a shock option.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Brazilian won the Premier League last time out, even though his personal performances were a mixed bag with Mikel Arteta increasingly looking beyond him.He still managed 11 goals and seven assists in all competitions, but Calciomercato have claimed that the Gunners are open to his sale for a mere £38 million.In fact, his value could tank further following a disappointing World Cup, with the likes of Juventus, AS Roma, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Newcastle all eyeing a move.“Both Juventus and Roma are busy looking for attacking reinforcements on the flanks, and in recent days they have been linked with Gabriel Martinelli.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“According to Calciomercato.it, around a month ago, several intermediaries received indications of a price tag of €45-50 million.“The London club was also hoping for a strong World Cup performance from the Brazilian striker, who has also been linked with Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Newcastle, as well as Turkish and Arab giants.“In light of the disappointing Brazil expedition, it is not excluded that in London they could revise their demands on the player’s transfer fee downwards.”Gabriel Martinelli is young and Premier League-proven, which will suit INEOS, but the North London side are unlikely to sell to a direct rival.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNot many fans might know this, but the winger had three separate trials with United during the Jose Mourinho era but the Glazers opted against handing him a contract. It looks likely to be another case of a missed opportunity.From INEOS’ perspective, it makes more sense to target Summerville, who could be available for a fee as low as £30 million, with the ex-Leeds ace open to a switch as well, with the Hammers powerless to stop him.Feature image Shaun Botterill via Getty Imagesonline pollsThe Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
