From £100m star to 19yo sensation: Four wingers Man United could sign as INEOS plot summer overhaul
Manchester United are expected to go all-out and sign at least two midfielders this summer.
Solving midfield issues is crucial but INEOS cannot ignore other problem areas of the squad.
Recruiting a left-winger has to be their second priority.
Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are the only reliable wide attackers, highlighting the urgent need for reinforcements.
Here we look at four potential transfer targets for the Red Devils this summer.
Iliman Ndiaye
Ndiaye has predominantly operated as a right winger but could also play on the opposite side.
He has registered six goals and three assists in 25 Premier League appearances.
At first glance, he may not be the most eye-catching name on the shortlist, but he could prove to be a shrewd signing.
The Senegal international brings unpredictability in the final third, using his quick feet and dribbling ability to unsettle defenders.
His relentless work rate also stands out, as he consistently tracks back to support his full-back defensively.
With nearly two seasons of Premier League experience under his belt, Ndiaye appears ready to take the next step in his career.
Yan Diomande
Diomande has taken the Bundesliga by storm, dazzling with his explosive pace and fearless attacking displays.
He has bagged 10 goals and seven assists in 26 league games, which is an outstanding return for a 19-year-old winger.
He has played on either wing but looks more suited as a right winger.
The graph below from DataMB shows that he matches the creative and dribbling output of Arsenal star Bukayo Saka.
His non-penalty expected goals are way higher than Amad Diallo and Saka.
RB Leipzig will not allow their prized asset to leave cheaply and would hope that a potential bidding war involving Liverpool could inflate the price.
Anthony Gordon
Newcastle United are expected to sanction exits of a few of their stars to ease the financial burden.
Anthony Gordon is a proven Premier League performer, having joined from Everton in January 2023.
He is enjoying his most prolific campaign of his senior career, netting 17 goals and providing five assists in 45 games across all competitions.
The Magpies are reportedly holding out for a fee close to £100 million, but United must look to negotiate a more reasonable deal.
Newcastle are expected to miss out on the Champions League football next season. This could further force Gordon to push for an exit at a reasonable transfer fee.
Crysencio Summerville
Summerville endured a slow start to the campaign but has burst into life in 2026 with a rich vein of form. All seven of his goals in 27 appearances have come within the last three months.
He is a traditional left winger who has the ability to take on full-backs and beat them with his trickery and pace.
While he may not single-handedly transform United into title contenders, he would significantly enhance squad depth.
If a large portion of the budget is allocated to midfield reinforcements, INEOS must identify cost-effective options like Summerville to strengthen other areas.
