Man United Also ‘Keeping Tabs’ on £40m-rated English striker After Zirkzee Deal done

Manchester United are considering whether to make a move for Brentford marksman Ivan Toney.

According to The Telegraph, Manchester United is “keeping tabs” on Ivan Toney, a striker for Brentford, and hasn’t ruled out bringing in another offensive addition after attracting Joshua Zirkzee to Old Trafford.

Since both Toney and Calvert-Lewin are unlikely to remain at their respective clubs over the upcoming season, it is alleged that Manchester United has already started internal conversations about signing the Premier League pair this summer.

With as many as eight players—including Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, and Victor Lindelof—rumored to depart, the Premier League’s biggest clubs are preparing for a summer clean-out.

Erik Ten Hag’s team, which is partially owned by INEOS, plans to restock the roster in an effort to recover from a historically poor Premier League result and return to the Champions League.

Brentford’s Ivan Toney is one player United are keeping tabs on.

‘The England striker has entered the final 12 months of his contract at Brentford and could present an opportunity depending on his price tag. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is another striker of a similar profile who has also entered the final year of his contract at Everton, although his injury record would be a concern.’

Calvert-Lewin, reportedly valued at around £30million by the Toffees, has bounced back after two injury-hit seasons, which saw the 27-year-old appear in just 34 league matches.

The England international managed to stay fit throughout the previous campaign, scoring eight goals and registering three assists in 38 games across all competitions.

Brentford star striker Toney – labelled as being “world-class” by Bees manager Thomas Frank – is still expected to be a slightly more expensive option than Calvert-Lewin, with Brentford reportedly demanding £60m, although there is also an understanding he could be sold for as little as £40m.

Toney, who came back from an eight-month ban for breaching FA betting rules last season, has now set his sights on a departure, with Frank confirming his goalscorer ‘will probably be sold this summer’.
