Manchester United consider options in January and include Dominic Calvert-Lewin in their plans

Manchester United are considering their options in the striker market ahead of the upcoming January transfer window. Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Leeds United is among the names the club is looking at for a possible signing, according to journalists Laurie Whitwell and Beren Cross.

Manchester United's interest in bolstering the striker position comes amid the team's need for additional options in the attacking line, especially with Benjamin Šeško sidelined due to injury, and continued reliance on Matheus Cunha as the main striker in some matches. Joshua Zirkzee also represents another option in this position, but the Dutch player's future may impact the club's plans during the upcoming transfer window.

Manchester United focused its efforts during the last summer transfer window on strengthening the midfield, having signed several players to bolster this position, without making the necessary changes in all other areas. It seems that strengthening the attack may be one of the issues the club is looking to address during January, given its need to provide suitable alternatives in the forward line.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a potential option for Manchester United, but his inclusion on the list of possible strikers does not mean an agreement or official negotiations have started with Leeds United. The original report did not include details regarding the potential value of the deal or Leeds' stance on parting with their striker.
