A former Premier League forward is being targeted by Manchester United.
Following their failure in the Viktor Gyokeres transfer drama, Manchester United is making the unexpected decision to recruit a free agent.
Man United is still looking for fresh players in preparation for the 2025–2026 campaign, having signed Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon this summer.
With Man United still unable to come to an agreement with Brentford, who turned down an increased bid of £62.5 million last month, Ruben Amorim is keeping an eye on Bryan Mbeumo.
After Rasmus Hojlund’s poor performance in front of goal the previous season, Amorim is also keen to get a new No. 9.
Hojlund, who was acquired from Atalanta for £72 million in the summer of 2023, had a challenging season and only managed four league goals.
Gyokeres’ outstanding play at Sporting CP, where he has scored 97 goals in 102 games since joining from Coventry City, drew the attention of Man United.
Amorim, who worked with Gyokeres, hoped to see him again at Old Trafford.
The Swede, however, is hoping to join Arsenal after declining two high-profile offers.
Andrea Berta, the sporting director, is reportedly spearheading talks about his desire to relocate to the Emirates.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a surprise addition to Manchester United.
As the team struggles financially and looks to add a new attacking line, Man United has now named Calvert-Lewin.
The Sun claims that the Red Devils have contacted the 28-year-old on the potential of a surprise summer transfer.
Calvert-Lewin was released this week and is now available on a free transfer.
His nine-year tenure with Everton came to an end when his contract expired.
According to the article, Man United thinks Calvert-Lewin possesses the attributes they are lacking.
A substantial contract with appearance incentives could be offered to him.
During his tenure at Everton, Calvert-Lewin scored 57 goals in the league.
In the 2020–21 season, he scored an outstanding 16 goals in 33 games, and his performances made him in high demand.
However, he only managed three goals in a season marred by injuries last year.
