Last weekend, Brentford's star player Ivan Toney made a triumphant return to the field after an eight-month ban for violating betting rules set by the Football Association. Toney, who had been heavily linked with a move to another club during the January transfer window, silenced any doubts about his abilities by scoring for Brentford in their Premier League match.
It seems that Toney's impressive comeback has caught the attention of Manchester United, with reports claiming that the club is keeping a close eye on him ahead of the summer transfer window. United's interest in Toney is not surprising, given his exceptional performance last season where he scored 20 goals in the Premier League. However, Brentford's hefty asking price of £80 million has likely deterred any immediate transfers, and it is expected that Toney will remain with the club until the end of the season.
According to sources, United's manager Erik ten Hag has also expressed interest in Ajax's Brian Brobbey, who has been in great form this season with 15 goals in 26 appearances. Meanwhile, Brentford's manager Thomas Frank has made it clear that he wants to hold onto Toney for as long as possible. Frank believes that Toney is happy with the team and is enjoying his football alongside his teammates, which is evident in his performance on the field.
Speaking about Toney's situation, Frank stated that the team has been supportive of him during his ban and would like to keep him. However, he also acknowledged that football is unpredictable, and it is ultimately up to Toney to decide his future. Despite this uncertainty, Frank remains optimistic that Toney will continue to be an integral part of Brentford's success. This sentiment is echoed by the team's desire to keep him and the positive relationship between Toney and the club's fans.
In other news, there have been several trending stories in the world of football. Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing an English striker for a bargain price, while Gary Neville expresses concern over another player's potential transfer. In addition, there has been a fiery confrontation between Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana and the Cameroonian national team. And finally, Ineos, a major sponsor of Manchester United, may block any potential transfers in the upcoming January window, citing concerns about past deals.
