⚽ United Eye Calvert-Lewin as Free Agent Option
With goal-scorer reinforcements on the cards, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a strong contender for Manchester United. Everton's striker, who has become a free agent, heads a shortlist of experienced players Jamie Vardy and Callum Wilson.
Calvert-Lewin's Premier League experience and strength make him a viable signing, especially given Rasmus Højlund's inconsistent displays throughout the previous season.
Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is close to a transfer to Juventus, with talks said to be "moving in a positive direction." The England star has struggled for form and consistency since his high-profile transfer, and the club are looking to sell him.
There are also reports that there may be a trade deal for Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz which will serve to further strengthen Manchester United's midfield.
