Manchester United launch SHOCK move for £50m striker, defender to leave Old Trafford in January, and more

Manchester United will reportedly launch a move for a shock target after missing out on Erling Haaland.

Having been snubbed by the Norwegian, The Sun report that United will turn their attention towards Everton man Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is rated at an eye-watering £50m.

Calvert-Lewin is in fine form, and scored a double against Newcastle United in his last outing under new boss Carlo Ancelotti.

The Red Devils are linked with a big spending spree in January, with Borussia Dortmund man Jadon Sancho consistently linked with a move.
