Manchester United Eye Shock Move for Free Agent Amid Attacking Overhaul

Manchester United are reportedly preparing a shock swoop for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with the 28-year-old striker currently a free agent following his departure from Everton.

According to reports, United manager Ruben Amorim is keen to bring in the experienced forward as he continues his squad rebuild ahead of the new season.

After ending a long stint at Goodison Park, Calvert-Lewin has attracted interest from several clubs, but it is United's approach that has raised eyebrows across the Premier League.

According to The Sun, sources close to the situation reveal that the club has already made contact with the England international about a potential switch to Old Trafford.

With the Red Devils juggling their finances amid financial fair play constraints, the pursuit of a free agent like Calvert-Lewin fits into a broader strategy to bolster the squad without overspending.

United have already splashed out £62.5 million on Wolverhampton forward Matheus Cunha and tabled a similar bid for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.

However, Amorim is also seeking to trim his current attacking options to make room for new arrivals.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, known for his aerial prowess and hold-up play, could offer Amorim a versatile option—either as a starting striker or a reliable backup.

Injuries have hampered his recent seasons, but a clean slate and a new challenge could reignite the former Everton man’s career.

Amorim’s vision for the attack appears to revolve around dynamic, physically imposing forwards capable of linking play and pressing aggressively, traits that align well with Calvert-Lewin’s style.

If a deal materializes, he would add Premier League experience and depth to a frontline that has been inconsistent in recent campaigns.

United’s interest comes at a time when the club is reshaping under Amorim's leadership, and Calvert-Lewin’s arrival could prove a smart piece of business, especially if he remains fit and rediscover his scoring form.
