Ivan Toney wants to join Manchester United

Manchester United are interested in signing Ivan Toney from Al-Ahli in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. Former Man Utd chief scout, Mick Brown, has revealed that he has been told by sources that the former Brentford striker is keen on a move to Old Trafford.

Brown told Football Insider: “Toney is an interesting one for United. Whatever you say about him, he’s got a proven track record of scoring goals in the Premier League.

“He’s gone out to Saudi Arabia and continued scoring goals.Man United have been watching him, my sources tell me, and they think he is still capable of playing at the top level, plus he’s not even 30 yet so he’s got years left in him.

“He’s one they’ve liked for a while, even when he was at Brentford, so it might be a surprise to see them interested again but there aren’t a lot of strikers of his level available. From what I’m told, he would be interested in a return to the Premier League.

“He might have to take a cut from what he’s getting paid out there, but he wants to play at the highest level and United could give him that chance. They see him as a definite upgrade on what they’ve got, so it’s a possibility.”
