It was his eighth career goal against Newcastle, highlighting the experience and penalty-box presence he still offers.Farke has also publicly praised the striker, calling him a “complete striker” and highlighting his improved fitness and pace following his strong start.More Stories / Latest NewsTottenham consider January move worth £125m for England international starSep 21 2026, 6:44Man United target in-form Premier League striker but club refuse to sell goal scoring machineSep 21 2026, 6:39Liverpool expect January offers for 23-year-old as Bayern Munich step up interestSep 21 2026, 6:29Man United interest makes sense in the Leeds striker(Photo by Stu Forster/Getty Images)From Man United’s perspective, Calvert-Lewin would be an interesting short-term option.Carrick currently has Sesko leading the line, but his quiet performance against Brighton, where he failed to register a shot before being substituted, showed why more competition could be useful.Calvert-Lewin brings Premier League experience, aerial strength and the ability to occupy centre-backs. He could also give United a more direct option when games become difficult.However, there are obvious complications.He turns 30 next year, meaning United would need to consider whether paying a sizeable fee for an older striker fits their longer-term recruitment strategy. More importantly, Leeds simply do not need to sell.Their strong start to the season has made Calvert-Lewin even more valuable, and his return to the England squad only strengthens their position.United may admire him, but unless Leeds unexpectedly soften their stance, Carrick may need to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcement.Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham join race for €90m midfielderThe post Man United target in-form Premier League striker but club refuse to sell goal scoring machine appeared first on CaughtOffside.
