Manchester United is in the process of making more transfer deals. They have been discussing the possibility of signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin from their Premier League rivals, Everton, before the summer transfer window closes. So far this summer, they have already added French defender Leny Yoro and Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee to their squad under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag.
Despite a less than satisfactory season in 2023-24, Ten Hag has kept his job at Manchester United and is looking to further strengthen his team with the potential signings of Dutch defender Matthijs De Ligt and Moroccan right-back Noussair Mazraoui. With these deals almost finalized, the Red Devils are now turning their attention to other targets, one of them being Calvert-Lewin, according to reports from Sky Sports.
It has been reported that the Manchester United hierarchy has discussed the possibility of signing Calvert-Lewin, although bringing in a new striker is not their main priority at the moment. The 27-year-old has faced some injury setbacks in recent years, but when fit, he has proven to be a talented and versatile striker, scoring over 50 Premier League goals for Everton. He has also made a name for himself on the international stage, scoring four goals in 11 appearances for England and even being considered for a spot in Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024.
Last year, Manchester United spent over £70m on Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, but the 21-year-old failed to make a significant impact in his first season with the club. Unfortunately, he is set to miss the first few weeks of the new season due to an injury sustained in a pre-season game against Arsenal. This leaves the team short on attacking options, and they may look to add another player before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
There have been rumors linking Manchester United with English strikers Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney, but it seems unlikely that either will leave their current clubs Aston Villa and Brentford, respectively. However, former Manchester United player Brian McClair believes that the team should make a move for Toney, who he believes would be a great addition to the team. With just one year left on his contract, it may be easier to secure a deal for the talented attacker.
Overall, Manchester United is actively pursuing more transfer deals to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. With Ten Hag at the helm and the potential signings of De Ligt and Mazraoui, it will be interesting to see who else they bring in before the transfer window closes.
