Manchester United remain interested in Dominic Calvert-Lewin
The atmosphere at Old Trafford is one of change and doubt. Last season made it clear that the lack of goals once again condemned a Manchester United side that was disastrous. The fans are still waiting for moves that will bring a spark back to an attack that is crying out for urgent solutions. Ruben Amorim knows he needs a reliable striker, someone who will shoulder the responsibility and not hide when the team needs him most. Without such a figure, the team is still not making the most of the wingers and creative midfielders. The board is analysing every option. Some sound logical, others are surprising.
The latest name to come on the scene leaves more than a few people frowning. According to The Sun, citing sources close to the club, Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin at zero cost after his contract with Everton expires. The 28-year-old English striker is looking for a team to relaunch his career after a difficult time. The news comes as a shock because it was unexpected and because the fans were expecting a profile with more present and future. The club needs goals and consistency. Calvert-Lewin was brilliant in 2019/20 and 2020/21, but since then, he has suffered injuries and a goal drought. We even reported earlier that the Red Devils have been keeping tabs on him for quite some time.
As of today, this potential signing raises more questions than certainties. Calvert-Lewin has been far too long away from his best. The Englishman’s recent injury record undermines any hopes of seeing him return to that level. United should no longer in the mood for risky gambles, especially in such a key position. They want to fight for everything again, and for that, they need a constant, physical and voracious number nine, something that Calvert-Lewin has not guaranteed for the last three seasons.

Moreover, the Premier League is played at a relentless pace that demands availability week in, week out. A striker spending more time in the infirmary is not the answer. It would be a repeat of old mistakes. If they really want to strengthen their attacking line, they should look at profiles like Jonathan David or Viktor Gyökeres. However, Gyokeres is most likely to move to Arsenal.
The Red Devils need young players with goals, confidence and a big future. The demands of Old Trafford are unforgiving, and patience runs out when direct rivals sign top talent. You can’t gamble on a figure from the past who lives on memories. It’s time to sign a hungry killer, with no injury history, to condition everything. Calvert-Lewin was a promise, but today he does not fit into a project that wants to return to dominate England and Europe.
