Andy Cole urges Ivan Toney to make Manchester United switch

Manchester United will be looking to add more fire power into their front line in the upcoming summer transfer window and Andy Cole believes Ivan Toney could be that man.

The Reds from Manchester don’t have any reliable back-up to Rasmus Hojlund and they will want to add someone equally capable of making an impact form the central position. Anthony Martial’s struggles could see him moved on in the summer

The Red Devils had a quite winter transfer window but they are gearing up for an important one in the summer The transfer planning for the summer transfer window is underway at Old Trafford. Manchester United and Erik ten Hag will have to navigate their signings through UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations.

Manchester United backed to rival Arsenal for Ivan Toney

Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole has claimed that Manchester United should think about rivaling Arsenal and Chelsea for signatures of Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

Andy Cole insists that Toney can also come influential to develop 21-year-old Rasmus Hojlund. Speaking to The Winners Enclosure, he said:

 “I like Ivan and if he came to Manchester United, would he do a job? Absolutely he would. Rasmus Hojlund is still a young man, so it’s all down to whether the club is prepared to bring in an older striker that can help him out at this stage. 

“It all depends on what the transfer fee will be but for me personally, I believe Ivan would be a good signing for Manchester United if they make a move for him and he will definitely help Hojlund

United’s refusal to enter into a bidding war

While Manchester United like Ivan Toney, they will not enter into a bidding war with Arsenal and Chelsea for the services of the 27-year-old striker according to a report by Mirror Football.

Brentford are said to have placed a £100million price tag on Ivan Toney. While the price is certainly over the odds, Toney’s fast expiring contract should give interested teams leeway in negotiations. Whether an agreement can be found by United should they push for the player remains to be seen
