Transfer Talk: Man United won't compete for Toney signature
Posted Friday, February 09, 2024 by ESPN
Manchester United are aware that Chelsea and Arsenal are leading the way in their attempts to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney, as has been reported by The Daily Star. With that in mind, the Red Devils' bosses are refusing to be drawn into a financial battle to sign the 27-year-old.
Erik ten Hag is still keen to bring a top-class forward to Old Trafford ahead of the 2024-5 season and is keeping an eye on Toney, who has made it clear that he wants to leave Brentford. Bees boss Thomas Frank has also said that Toney is almost certain to leave during the summer.
Alongside Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur are also alert to the England international's situation.
However, there are suggestions that Brentford will demand a £100 million transfer fee for Toney, a sum that new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe thinks is too much, believing the number should be closer to the £70m mark. Further, he is unwilling to enter a battle with Chelsea and Arsenal in the transfer market to sign him.
Brentford striker Ivan Toney is attracting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
