Coming Live from Old Trafford, Manchester United submits late bid of £45m to sign premier league most ‘FEARED’ striker. Man United are now plotting a late-window bid for England sensational Toney, sources have revealed that The 20-time champions are exploring the market for a proven centre-forward, and Toney is on their shortlist. The Englishman is proven in the English top-flight and is an out-and-out striker capable of playing with his back to goal, something United’s current forwards lack. According to reports this morning Manchester United officials have met we Brentford and have submitted a bid Of £45m with personal terms not a problem as the look to bring the England star to old Trafford. Manchester United plotting a late bid for Ivan Toney due to striker shortage.
Manchester United might once again find themselves relying on an inexperienced young striker when the new Premier League season kicks off.
Last season, Rasmus Hojlund was overburdened, and Erik ten Hag had no choice but to lean on him due to limited options. To address this, Joshua Zirkzee was signed early in the transfer window as an additional striker. However, due to the Glazers’ lack of support during both the summer and January transfer windows, Ten Hag had to continue using Hojlund, especially with Anthony Martial’s ongoing injury struggles and Marcus Rashford’s inconsistent form.
INEOS quickly recognized the team’s frail attacking line and brought in the former Bologna star. Unfortunately, with Hojlund now expected to miss six weeks, the Red Devils are once again facing the same dilemma.
Striker Shortage
Although manager Ten Hag mentioned that both Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho could play in a false nine role, Marcus Rashford prefers the left wing, making the situation far from ideal. The 20-time English champions have been discussing the possibility of bringing in another striker, with names like Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin being mentioned.
According to The Peoples Person, Brentford’s striker might only become an option if the London club lowers their asking price to under £40 million. Currently, Thomas Frank’s team is demanding £50 million, a figure that seems unlikely to be met, especially considering the England international’s contract expires in 2025.
Despite the interest from several clubs, Football Insider reports that United is considering a last-minute move for Toney, provided all conditions are met.
Late Move for Toney
Ivan Toney, a proven Premier League striker who excels at holding up play, offers something United’s current forwards lack. Football Insider reveals that Manchester United is preparing a last-ditch bid for Toney as they search for an experienced center-forward.
With no seasoned senior striker available, Erik ten Hag is pushing for the addition of a high-caliber front-line player. However, for United to afford Toney and his hefty wage demands, they would need to make some significant sales, which seems unlikely at this point.
Ultimately, much will depend on how United starts the season; a poor performance could compel INEOS to intervene.
