Manchester United Eyes Ivan Toney Transfer

Manchester United is exploring a late bid for Brentford striker Ivan Toney, joining Chelsea and Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli in the race for the 28-year-old forward. Preliminary talks have taken place between United and Brentford, but no formal offer has been made, despite the urgency of the impending transfer deadline. Toney, who is keen to leave Brentford, is preferred by Chelsea, which is seeking a proven goalscorer for the upcoming season. Brentford is hopeful that interest from both Premier League clubs will spark a bidding war, potentially lowering Toney's asking price. Meanwhile, United's need for a reliable goalscorer is heightened due to injuries affecting key players such as Mason Mount and Luke Shaw. The outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain as the transfer window approaches its close.
