Man United plot summer move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Manchester United have made a surprise move to sign former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is currently a free agent after parting ways with the Toffees.
According to The Sun, United are in talks with the 28-year-old forward as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of Ruben Amorim’s first full season in charge. Despite struggling with injuries in recent seasons, Calvert-Lewin remains a player of proven Premier League quality.
A Fresh Start After Everton Exit
Calvert-Lewin spent nine seasons at Everton after joining from Sheffield United in 2016. At his peak between 2019 and 2021, he was one of the league’s most effective strikers. However, recurring fitness issues in recent years hampered his progress and limited his impact on Merseyside.
Everton were keen to extend his contract, but the England international opted to seek a new challenge, allowing his deal to run down and leaving the club as a free agent.
Amorim’s United Overhaul in Full Swing
With United embarking on a major squad rebuild under Amorim, Calvert-Lewin has emerged as a potential low-cost signing. The Red Devils have already secured Matheus Cunha and are pursuing Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo. Meanwhile, several big names — including Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Højlund, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, and Antony — are reportedly up for sale as the club reshapes its frontline.
Calvert-Lewin Seen as Ideal Squad Option
United see Calvert-Lewin as a versatile option who can provide depth and experience, while also being open to a rotational or backup role. Talks are underway, with the club believed to be offering a performance-based contract with appearance bonuses.
If the English striker can stay fit, his physicality, aerial presence, and Premier League pedigree could make him a smart acquisition — especially on a free transfer.
A move to Old Trafford could mark the perfect turning point in Calvert-Lewin’s career, while offering United a cost-effective solution up front.
