Manchester United and Everton are reportedly interested in signing Jamie Vardy during the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Everton and Manchester United are lining up a surprise bargain move for former Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy. The veteran English striker currently a free agent, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Everton and Manchester United need more quality and depth in their attacking units, and Vardy would be a quality addition. The 38-year-old is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he has helped Leicester City win the Premier League title in the past. He could prove to be a very useful short-term acquisition for the two clubs.

Everton have parted ways with Dominic Calvert-Lewin upon the expiry of his contract. They will need to replace him this summer. On the other hand, Manchester United are in desperate need of a reliable goalscorer. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have been underwhelming since joining the club, and they will need to be replaced.

Both clubs were quite disappointing in the Premier League season, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly. They need quality players to do well. A reliable goalscorer could make a huge difference for them in the final third.

Vardy set for a big move?

There is no doubt that the veteran English striker has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the country. However, he is in the twilight stages of his career, and Everton and Manchester United should ideally seek long-term solutions.

However, the Englishman would be a handy option to have on a free transfer this summer. The opportunity to join Everton or Manchester United could be exciting for the striker. This could be his final opportunity to play for a big club. It will be interesting to see what he decides.

The 38-year-old will hope to play more often at this stage of his career, and sitting on the bench at a big club is unlikely to appeal to him. Vardy should look to seek game-time assurances before committing to a move to a Premier League club this summer.
