Manchester United are reportedly looking to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney this summer as part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's dressing room overhaul.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Toney has been heavily linked with a transfer this summer with multiple clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, having shown interest in the striker. The 28-year-old has the interest of the Red Devils, as per 90min, and the club could very well make a move this summer to sign the experienced Premier League striker under the direction of Ratcliffe.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Toney would reportedly be open to making a move away from the Bees this year or even waiting for the summer of 2025 when his contract expires. As per the report, Brentford would accept a bid for the striker in the range of £50 million ($62m) but the price could fluctuate depending on the striker's performance at Euro 2024.
DID YOU KNOW?
United are chasing Toney as competition for Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, who has run hot and cold this season under Erik ten Hag. The club believes that the incorporation of an experienced striker and a leader would be good for the Dane's progress as a number nine.
WHAT NEXT FOR TONEY?
Toney will have a lot of options to choose from this summer if he does intend to leave. He will remain focused on Brentford's run to the end of the season and the Euros with England before he decides his future.
