Manchester United reportedly made a surprise move to try and snap former Everton striker Dominique Calvert Lewin on a free transfer.
The 28-year-old recently left Goodison Park at the end of his contract and is now available this summer, looking for a new club.
A little surprising, according to a report from the Sun, citing what he heard from “Insider,” Man Utd appears to have approached Calvert-Lewin.
The Red Devils certainly can cover the moves up front, but Calvert Lewin doesn’t look like a very reasonable signature, even if it’s free to use.
Dominique Calvert Lewin is not enough for Manchester United
The move probably made sense a few years ago, but Calvert Lewin has been much lower for a while.
England International was impressive during the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons, but his goals record ever since then shows almost certainly why Everton hasn’t bothered him to keep him.
See below for his records at all competitions since then…
| season | game | the goal |
| 2019/20 | 41 | 15 |
| 2020/21 | 39 | twenty one |
| 2021/22 | 18 | 5 |
| 2022/23 | 18 | 2 |
| 2023/24 | 39 | 8 |
| 2024/25 | 26 | 3 |
Some fitness issues clearly disrupt Calver Trewin’s progress, but that’s certainly another reason United won’t sign him.
MUFC needs a very powerful transfer window after such a disastrous campaign. This isn’t something like the signature needed to move the team forward.
Still, this is probably a new reality that club fans face, as the Sun suggests they are keen on this deal due to their poor financial situation.
Catch off side It has also been previously said that Newcastle is interested in Calver Trewin.
