According to reports, Ivan Toney's agent has recently informed Brentford that the talented England striker has his sights set on joining Manchester United after Euro 2024. Toney has been making waves on the international stage, playing a small but pivotal role for the England team in their Euro campaign. In the round of 16, he provided an important assist in their win over Slovakia and then went on to score a crucial penalty in the shootout victory against Switzerland.
Despite facing an eight-month ban for breaching FA betting rules, Toney has continued to be a highly sought-after player by top Premier League clubs in recent years. Now, with his return to action, he has once again caught the attention of elite clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham. And even though United is set to unveil Netherlands forward Joshua Zirkzee as their first major signing this summer, they are still on the lookout for another striker to bolster their lineup.
Last summer, United welcomed promising young striker Rasmus Hojlund to Old Trafford, but his debut season in the Premier League was not as successful as many had hoped. As a result, Toney and fellow England star Ollie Watkins have emerged as top targets for Manchester United, with at least one of them expressing a desire to make the move to the Theatre of Dreams.
According to BILD, Toney has made it clear that he wants to join United this summer, and his agent has already informed Brentford of his intentions. With an impressive record of 71 goals in 142 appearances for Brentford and 20 goals in his last full season in the Premier League, it's no wonder that his current club is expecting a hefty fee of around £60m for his services.
Before the start of the Euro tournament, Toney openly admitted that he would be ready for a move to a big club this summer. However, he remains focused on his current club and is determined to give his all in the Euros before making any decisions about his future. In his own words, "nothing is done until it's done."
For now, Toney's main focus is helping England defeat Spain in the Euro 2024 final this Sunday and hopefully bring an end to 58 years of hurt for the national team. As for Manchester United, they continue to keep a close eye on Toney and his potential transfer, along with other exclusive news and analysis, as they gear up for the new season.
