Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson in the upcoming summer transfer window. Wilson has caught the attention of Manchester United as a possible solution to their problems at the striker position.
January passed without much change for Manchester United, with Erik ten Hag’s side remaining active on the pitch but relatively quiet in the transfer market. Although there was speculation about possible last-minute surprises, the club’s focus was on departures, with more than a dozen players leaving the team either on loan or permanently.

Callum Wilson in United’s sights
Anthony Martial’s injury during this period led the club to consider options to strengthen their attacking line and Callum Wilson emerged as one of the candidates. Newcastle were reportedly prepared to listen to offers for Wilson for a transfer fee of just £18 million in the last week of January as part of their efforts to comply with Premier League financial regulations.
Wilson, 31, has been an important figure for Newcastle since his arrival in 2020. With 216 appearances in the Premier League, he has scored 86 goals and 23 assists in his career so far. Despite his goalscoring record, he has struggled with injuries during his time at St James’ Park, which could lead the club to consider selling him in the summer.
Despite his injury problems, Wilson’s goal-scoring abilities make him an attractive option for Manchester United, particularly as a replacement for the emerging Rasmus Hojlund. Meanwhile, Manchester United will continue to consider their options as the summer transfer window approaches and look to strengthen their squad for next season.
