Manchester United is reportedly targeting Brentford striker Ivan Toney as part of their ongoing rebuild, despite recently signing Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. Christian Falk of BILD has indicated that Toney’s agent has already notified Brentford of his desire to move, and Manchester United is showing interest in the England international. Toney, who played a crucial role in England’s 2-1 extra-time victory over Slovakia at Euro 2024, setting up Harry Kane’s winning goal, is seen as a valuable addition to United’s squad.
Recent signings Rasmus Hojlund, 21, and Joshua Zirkzee, 23, have bolstered Manchester United’s attacking options, but Toney’s inclusion could further strengthen the team’s forward line. According to The Athletic, Brentford values Toney at £60 million, but with only a year remaining on his contract, a reduced fee of £40 million might be negotiable.
Since Brentford’s promotion to the Premier League in 2021, Toney has emerged as one of the league’s top strikers, with 36 goals and 11 assists in 85 appearances. He finished third in the 2022-23 Golden Boot race, behind Harry Kane and Erling Haaland.
Former Manchester United striker Dion Dublin has praised Toney and urged the club to sign him, believing that he fits manager Erik ten Hag’s ideal striker profile. Dublin stated, “I think he’s good enough to go and play for Manchester United, and I think he’d only get better if he went there. They need a goal scorer with experience, and Erik ten Hag likes big strikers, so perhaps they want to look at Ivan Toney.”
Toney’s standout performances, including his brace in a 2-1 win against Manchester City in November 2022, have highlighted his potential. Standing at 6 feet 1 inch, Toney is known for his aerial ability, agility, and unpredictability. His skill in set pieces was also evident with his penalty in England’s quarterfinal shootout win over Switzerland at Euro 2024.
Rasmus Hojlund, in his first season at Old Trafford, scored 16 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions, showing potential despite some inconsistency. Meanwhile, Joshua Zirkzee has added versatility to Ten Hag’s attack, capable of playing as a centre forward, winger, or second striker, with 14 goals in 58 matches for Bologna.
Adding Ivan Toney could be a significant move for Manchester United, providing the goal-scoring prowess and physical presence needed to compete at the highest levels. His proven track record in the Premier League and ability to perform on big occasions make him an appealing target. Manchester United fans will be keenly watching the developments to see if their team secures this important transfer.
