Ivan Toney's comeback to action with Brentford is reportedly being "watched" by Manchester United, who may decide to make a move for the English striker in the summer transfer window.
Ivan Toney, aged 27, faced a nine-month suspension for admitting guilt in over 200 betting breaches. However, he has made a comeback, showcasing his return with a goal against Nottingham Forest.
The ex-Newcastle United forward has been strongly linked to leaving Brentford, driven by his own remarks. Arsenal is currently perceived as the front-runner in the competition for his signature. Chelsea has shown interest too, but their primary focus is on pursuing Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, with Callum Wilson considered for a short-term role, as revealed by Footballwave.
Manchester United is keen on acquiring Ivan Toney, creating competition for Arsenal, as The Athletic reports that they are closely monitoring him.
Erik ten Hag’s team acquired Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta last summer. Despite this, the Denmark international has struggled, scoring only two Premier League goals due to limited service. With Anthony Martial, Hojlund’s backup, injured and nearing contract expiry, Man Utd is prioritizing a new striker, eyeing Toney.
Although Brian Brobbey is favored by Ten Hag, the Ajax star dismissed any links to Manchester United, complicating their pursuit.
Footballwave exclusively reported Man Utd’s interest in Toney in August, and the race with Arsenal for his signature remains uncertain. Brentford has set a substantial asking price of around €93m (£80m) to retain their star player.
