​Manchester United are reportedly turning their attention to a Paris Saint-Germain prodigy as part of their search for a new left winger. The move comes amid growing questions about Marcus Rashford’s future and suggestions that Michael Carrick wants to bolster United’s left flank. While the club has been strongly linked with established Premier League wingers, a fresh report indicates their recruitment team is also evaluating talent emerging in Paris.
According to United in Focus, Manchester United are among three top-flight clubs examining a potential deal for PSG and Senegalese teenager Ibrahim Mbaye. The Reds, along with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, are all said to be interested in the 18-year-old winger. The report claims United are “exploring ways to integrate Mbaye into their medium-term squad plans,” with other Premier League clubs readying offers to test PSG’s resolve.
Mbaye is viewed as a versatile forward who could fit United’s brief for the upcoming window, given his ability to operate on either flank or as an attacking midfielder. Last season he made 31 appearances under Luis Enrique. Yet Mbaye is reportedly open to taking the next step in his career and is keen for more regular playing time. His representatives are thought to be encouraging him to stay in Paris, but a move to the Premier League remains a plausible scenario given the youngster’s ambition to play more regularly.
PSG are understood to be open to accepting bids around €35 million (£30m) for Mbaye this summer, with Premier League clubs allegedly preparing offers in the vicinity of €25m to test the Ligue 1 giants’ resolve. In addition to Mbaye, West Ham United’s Crysencio Summerville is also highly regarded at Old Trafford and is believed to be United’s top left-wing target. The Peoples Person previously reported that Summerville is keen to join United and has communicated this to his representatives. The West Ham ace is seen by United as the ideal destination where he can compete for both the Champions League and the Premier League.
As the transfer market heats up, United remain poised to pursue a left-sided option who can contribute across multiple attacking roles. The possibility of Mbaye arriving from PSG would add a young, adaptable talent to Erik ten Hag’s squad, while the continued interest in Summerville underscores United’s preference for a player capable of delivering speed, flair, and versatility on the left flank. The evolving negotiations and bid intentions from across Europe will be closely watched by supporters eager for concrete signs of new talent arriving at Old Trafford.
