Haaland is represented by Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola – who has been in a public row with the Old Trafford club.
And The Athletic report that Calvert-Lewin would fit Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s bill now a deal with Haaland seems difficult.
SunSport revealed earlier this year that Man Utd asked about the England striker’s availability – but Everton slapped an £80m price tag on him.
Calvert-Lewin, 23, has scored 16 goals in all competitions this season – 14 for Everton and two for England.

He played in last night’s Carabao Cup quarter-final which Manchester United won 2-0.
Super agent Raiola claimed in an explosive interview recently that Pogba’s career is finished at Manchester United.
The comments came on the eve of an embarrassing early Champions League exit and just days before the Manchester derby.
Raiola said: “I can say that it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United.

“It is useless to go around it.
“Better to speak clearly, look ahead and not waste time looking for culprits: Paul at Manchester United is unhappy, he is no longer able to express himself as he would like and as expected of him.
“He has to change teams, he has to change the air. He has a contract that will expire in a year and a half, in the summer of 2022, but I think the best solution for the parties is to sell in the next market.
“Otherwise, the Old Trafford club, with whom relations are excellent, knows well that they would risk losing him on a free transfer, given that for the moment it is not the player’s intention to extend the contract.
“If someone doesn’t understand it, they understand very little about football. In any case, let them blame me if Paul leaves next summer.”
