Dominic Calvert-Lewin is one striker on Manchester United’s radar to address a problem that could have been avoided if the board had given Michael Carrick sufficient backing in the summer.

Manchester United had endured a terrible start to the 2026/27 season, winning just two of their first 12 matches across all competitions. Michael Carrick appeared to be on the brink Monday morning, but a decision was made during executive meetings to give the 45-year-old more time to turn results around.

The Reds offered nothing offensively in Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford. Carrick has been without a recognised centre-forward in most matches because of injuries sustained by Benjamin Sesko.
