Calvert-Lewin makes decision on Leeds future amid Man United rumours

Calvert-Lewin is expected to extend his Leeds contract until 2028, ending Manchester United's hopes of signing him as a January target.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has decided to extend his stay at Leeds United, dealing a blow to Manchester United's January transfer plans. The 29-year-old striker, who joined Leeds from Everton in summer 2025 on a three-year deal, has thrived at Elland Road with 20 goals in 49 appearances overall and 18 league goals in 43 outings. He earned an England recall after a five-year absence and has made a strong start to this season with four goals in eight games.

United had identified Calvert-Lewin as a target after Benjamin Sesko was ruled out with a shin injury until at least the New Year, leaving Joshua Zirkzee as their only fit senior striker. However, talkSPORT understands the Leeds forward is now set to commit his future to the club. Pundit Alan Brazil suggested United would only view Calvert-Lewin as a short-term option anyway, despite his five goals in all competitions this season outpacing United's top scorers.
