Manchester United have offered close to €70 million for the services of Ivan Toney this summer, according to TEAMtalk via reports in Spain.

The English striker is in the final 18 months of his contract with Brentford and is expected to leave this year.

Toney is a proven name in the Premier League, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur also hot on his heels. However, the Red Devils are hoping to beat the competition by moving early for the 28-year-old.

Erik ten Hag spent £72 million to bring Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta last summer, but the Dane is not a finished product yet.

The Dutch manager wants an experienced head to become the focal point of his attack next season and has turned to Toney.

The Englishman has appeared 141 times across competition for the Bees across competitions, scoring 72 goals and setting up 22.

Bruno Fernandes is eager to win trophies with Manchester United according to acclaimed transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

The Portuguese midfielder’s future has been subject to speculation recently, but he remains a key part of plans at Old Trafford.

Bruno has been a first-team regular since joining the club in January 2020 and was handed the armband at the start of the season.

Fabrizio Romano added that both parties are happy together and are not considering a change.

“Man United and INEOS really want to continue with Bruno and Bruno has always been super committed. The idea of the player has always been to stay at Manchester United and continue to fight for the badge and the club. He wants to help them win titles in the future. They feel really, really good together,” said Romano.

The 29-year-old has appeared 47 times across competitions this season for the Red Devils, registering 15 goals and 12 assists
