Dominic Calvert-Lewin in Manchester United's sights

According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, Manchester United We have discussed the possibility of signing Everton Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin during the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils recruited Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna to bolster their forward line last month but are open to the prospect of signing another centre-forward. Rasmus Hojlund He will be out for another 4 weeks following a hamstring injury and there is no guarantee he will immediately return to regular first-team action.

Shet has revealed that Calvert-Lewin is one of the strikers United are considering, but he does not appear to be a priority. The Red Devils could reconsider their interest if they are able to recoup funds from player sales.

Unlikely agreement

Zirkzee did not make his debut for United's first team against Manchester City in the Community Shield. He was not considered sufficiently prepared, but could make his debut in the Premier League opening game against Fulham on Friday night.

Hojlund will not be back in the team for at least another month, but the coach… Erik the Hag He has shown that he is willing to consider stopgap options. Against City, he played Bruno Fernandes as a false 9 and had good results.

Ten Hag could consider the same option until Zirkzee adapts to the pace of the Premier League. Calvert-Lewin could leave Everton after entering the final year of his contract, but the Toffees could still demand a premium transfer fee.

The 27-year-old is a academy talent and Everton could look to cash in on that. Calvert-Lewin was once regarded as one of England's best young strikers, but his progress was drastically hampered by multiple injuries.

He managed to stay fit for most of the previous campaign but scored just 7 goals in 32 league games. 4 of those came after April this year but there is a risk associated with signing him due to his injury history in recent years.

United would be better off keeping their current striker options for next season.
