Man Utd linked with move for Brentford star Ivan Toney

Manchester United's quest to bolster their attacking depth has intensified with their reportedly keen interest in Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

The Red Devils, who recently secured Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna in their first summer signing, are now eyeing Toney to further fortify their striking options ahead of the new season.

Joshua Zirkzee's arrival, marked by a long-term contract until 2029, signals United's intent to strengthen their offensive capabilities under manager Erik ten Hag.

With pre-season training underway and assessments ongoing, United remain vigilant in their pursuit of key signings amidst a backdrop of extended breaks for some squad members post-Euro 2024 and Copa America.

The potential addition of Toney promises to escalate competition within the squad, complementing current centre-forward options Rasmus Hojlund and Zirkzee.

United, closely monitored by fans and pundits alike, aims to finalise their transfer dealings by the September 2 deadline, aligning strategic moves to secure top talent.

In parallel, United continues to explore midfield reinforcements, with interest reportedly swirling around Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte.

Sources suggest a potential loan move for Ugarte, offering United greater financial flexibility as they navigate the complexities of the transfer market.
