Manchester: English Premier League giants Manchester United are keen on roping in Turkish attacking midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu from Bayer Leverkusen, according to reports.

The 21-year-old was closely followed by the Red Devils in the last few months of the transfer window which shut down a few days back, British media reports said on Friday.

United now want him in the squad ahead of the January window.

The young playmaker who can be lethal in dead-ball situations has been tipped for a bright future in football and if United can scoop him in, he is likely to be a replacement of German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger who has been slow to get going at Old Trafford.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
