Ivan Toney Future Takes a Shocking Twist as Manchester United Enter the Running for Brentford Star
July 23, 2024 – Published 10:35
A dramatic twist has unfolded in the ongoing transfer saga surrounding Ivan Toney, as Manchester United have officially entered the fray to sign the Brentford star this summer.
As reported earlier, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United were reportedly vying for the 28-year-old’s signature, but according to The Athletic, Manchester United have also held internal discussions regarding a move for the England international.
Toney’s impressive form, which saw him score four Premier League goals last season, has caught the attention of several top clubs. Despite Manchester United already securing the signing of Joshua Zirkzee, Erik ten Hag is seemingly keen on bolstering his attacking options.
The dynamic duo of Harry Kane and Anthony Martial have been plagued by injury woes, leaving the Red Devils short-handed up front. Signing Toney could provide a vital boost to their firepower, especially given his Premier League experience.
Interestingly, Brentford manager Thomas Frank expressed his desire for Toney to remain at the club, stating, “He’s a Brentford player, and I would love him to stay. That would give me a very positive challenge.”
However, the Bees’ manager also hinted that Toney is attracting significant attention, saying, “I know he’s enjoying his well-deserved time off after his time with England… If you want to buy him, it’s expensive.”
Given Manchester United’s financial muscle, it’s no secret that they’d be willing to meet the price tag set by Brentford. The Toney saga has taken another twist, and we can only speculate what the coming days might hold.
