Dominic Calvert-Lewin unlikely to move to Manchester United due to massive wage demands

Manchester United’s summer transfer strategy has been clear from the outset: rectify the goalscoring deficiencies that plagued their previous campaign. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, the priority was unequivocally to inject more firepower into the attacking third, a direct response to a dismal output that left fans and pundits alike frustrated. It has become apparent that while Rasmus Hojlund possesses immense potential and a tireless work rate, the young Dane cannot shoulder the entire goalscoring burden for a club with ambitions of challenging for top honors. The pursuit of a seasoned, reliable striker was therefore high on Amorim’s agenda, with Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin emerging as a prominent target.

Calvert-Lewin, a proven Premier League commodity, has long been admired for his aerial prowess, hold-up play, and ability to lead the line. Despite a challenging couple of seasons marred by injuries, his recent resurgence, particularly towards the end of the last campaign, showcased the qualities that make him an attractive proposition. His physical presence and knack for crucial goals would offer a different dimension to United’s attack, potentially complementing Hojlund or providing a robust alternative. The idea was to bring in a player who understands the rigors of English football and could immediately contribute, offering a more immediate solution than another developing talent.
