"It’s always our plan...": Daniel Farke speaks out as Man United plot move for Leeds star
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readManchester United are targeting Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ivan Toney as striker options, with Leeds United determined to keep Calvert-Lewin this transfer window.

From the source
Manchester United desperately need to add another out-and-out striker to their squad. Benjamin Sesko cannot seem to stay fit, and as the side’s only natural centre-forward, his absences continually hold the team back.
Without the Slovenian, the Red Devils lack a direct focal point in attack: someone who occupies defenders, offers reliable hold-up play, and finishes chances consistently.
It is therefore obvious that securing a like-for-like alternative to Sesko becomes essential once the transfer window opens. One such striker already linked with a move to Old Trafford is Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
