Man United Eyes Premier league Striker as Ten Hag Seizes Opportunity

 According to reports, Manchester United will pursue Ivan Toney if his price approaches a specific threshold. Erik ten Hag has identified an opportunity, as the striker is unwilling to sign a new contract.

In the past two summers, United has acquired two attackers. Last summer, they acquired Rasmus Hojlund, who subsequently scored 16 goals across all competitions during his inaugural season.

The club acquired Joshua Zirkzee, a Dutchman, this summer. He previously played for Bologna, where he scored 14 goals last season.

While neither individual is particularly potent in front of goal, they are both under the age of 23, and United anticipates that they will develop into exceptional assets.

However, a more experienced member could soon join the young duo in the striker corps.

In recent months, United has been among the Premier League teams that have expressed interest in Brentford striker Toney.

Although they have signed Zirkzee to ostensibly fill the void left by Anthony Martial's departure, some connections with the Englishman have persisted.

And now, Sporty360 asserts that Erik ten Hag may execute a concrete transaction for the striker.

The report implies that United is contemplating approaching the Bees for Toney if his price falls below £40 million.

It has been significantly more significant in the past; however, the London club is rapidly approaching the deadline for selling him.

Toney's contract with Brentford expires in one year, and it is evident that a new agreement is not feasible.

Therefore, this summer represents the final opportunity for a sale, as it is exceedingly probable that he will depart next summer.

According to reports, Ten Hag has interpreted this as an opportunity to negotiate a discounted contract for the striker.

A new club is rumored to be anxious to offer Toney a £250,000-per-week contract.

And United could provide those types of terms if they do indeed decide to pursue the Englishman.

Additionally, they would offer new competition to Hojlund and the new striker Zirkzee, which should benefit each player's performance.

Given that Toney is 28 years old and has scored 36 Premier League goals, his experience and distinct skill set compared to the duo above could provide United with a wide range of options.
