Sir Jim Ratcliffe warned against signing the £100m star that Man Utd boss Ten Hag is interested in – ‘It’s a trap’
Ivan Toney, the star player of Brentford, has been recently linked with a move to Old Trafford, with interest also coming from Arsenal and Chelsea. The 27-year-old’s impressive form over the past few seasons has made him one of the considerations for the Dutchman. Following an eight-month ban for breaching The FA’s betting rules, the England international has made a sensational return, scoring two goals in two appearances.
His performance has reinforced his position as a priority target for top clubs, with Brentford unwilling to consider any offers below £100 million. Former Manchester United player, Saha, believes that the Red Devils should only make an offer for Toney if they are certain of his desire to join the club. He cautions against pursuing a player just because rivals are interested, emphasizing the need for United to avoid hijacking targets from other clubs.
Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund’s progress at Old Trafford could affect the club’s decision on acquiring a new striker, especially since he was purchased for £72 million from Atalanta last summer.
