Manchester United reportedly turn their attention to Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin after hitting a roadblock in their pursuit of Erling Braut Haaland.

Manchester United have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The England international's goalscoring prowess this season is well-documented, with Calvert-Lewin finding the back of the net 11 times in 14 Premier League games for the impressive Toffees.

Only Mohamed Salah has struck more times in the top flight than Calvert-Lewin this season, and the Everton striker is already being linked with a move to a top European club.

According to The Athletic, Man United are ready to swoop for Calvert-Lewin after hitting a roadblock in their pursuit of Erling Braut Haaland, with agent Mino Raiola complicating matters over a deal for the Borussia Dortmund man.

As a result, United have supposedly turned their attentions to Calvert-Lewin, but the report claims that it would take a bid of £75m for Everton to even consider a sale, and Toffees manager Carlo Ancelotti is strongly against letting the 23-year-old leave.

Calvert-Lewin is under contract at Goodison Park until 2025, having penned a new deal in March.
