Ferdinand believes the England international would be a fantastic signing at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are said to be looking to bolster their attacking options in the summer, and have been linked with names like Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
With the huge competitions between big European clubs to sign Haaland and the impossibility to snap Kane from the grasp of Daniel Levy, Ferdinand has urged his former club to try going in for Calvert-Lewin.
Calvert-Lewin has been in outstanding goal scoring form since Carlo Ancelotti took over as Everton manager last season.
The 24-year-old is currently one of the deadliest marksmen in England, having netted 14 goals in 26 Premier League appearances for the Toffees so far this season.
His outstanding returns this season has forced the former centre-back to recommend him to the Manchester-based club.
“Listen Dominic Calvert-Lewin for me I love him,” Ferdinand told the Vibe with Five YouTube channel.
“I’ve watched a lot of Everton this year and he’s one that unnerves defenders. He’s not one you want to play against week in, week out. He’s aggressive, he attacks the ball.”
“I was speaking to Carlo Ancelotti earlier this year and he mentioned Inzaghi and said he didn’t need many chances to score goals and he scores goals in and around the six-yard box.”
“I look at Calvert-Lewin this season and he’s listened to that, he’s taken that on board. Obviously he seems a really good student of the game and he’s started putting that into his own game.”
He continued: “We’ve seen the rewards he’s had he’s got into the England squad by scoring loads of goals in and around the six-yard box – scoring those ugly goals.”
“I think he’d be a fantastic signing for Manchester United. It’s one out of left field a little bit but I think he’d have a big impact. He’d get on the end of the things created by Fernandes, Pogba, Rashford, Greenwood, etc.”
“It’s whether Ole sees that as something that is feasible or am I not going to get the likes of Haaland or Kane? if either of those come up they’ll be the first choice as long as the money is not crazy and it’s doable.”
