Manchester United, along with other top Premier League clubs, have been informed of Callum Wilson's potential availability at the end of the January transfer window, a development that would likely please former United captain Roy Keane.
With Anthony Martial facing an extended absence due to injury, United are in need of attacking reinforcements. While the focus of United's transfer activity has been on player departures this month, the situation with Martial's injury could force them to seek reinforcements before the window closes.
Wilson's availability has emerged as a potential solution, with Newcastle willing to sell him for £18 million to address their own financial concerns, as per Standard Sport.
Roy Keane has previously praised Wilson's abilities during his time at Bournemouth, and the striker's proven track record in the Premier League makes him an attractive option for United. Despite Erik ten Hag's preference for loan and cut-price deals due to Financial Fair Play restrictions, Wilson's sudden availability could prompt United to consider making a move for him.
Wilson's potential arrival would provide competition for Rasmus Hojlund and offer United a reliable option upfront. However, time is running out for United to secure a solution for Martial's absence, and the decision to pursue Wilson could significantly impact the team's performance in the remainder of the season.
