Manchester United are hoping to sign the former Brentford striker Ivan Toney on loan during the January transfer window.
According to Football Insider, Ivan Toney could be on his way to the Premier League and Manchester United are hoping to sign him. However, it will be difficult for them to convince Al Ahli to let the player move in the middle of the season. He is a key player for them and they will not want to lose him. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Manchester United could certainly use another striker. Even though they have signed Benjamin Sesko, they need an upgrade on Joshua Zirkzee. The Netherlands international has been quite underwhelming and Manchester United need a better player if they want to do well this season.
Toney has the quality and the experience to make an instant impact in the Premier League and help Manchester United improve. The opportunity to return to his homeland could be exciting for the player. He will want to be a part of the England squad for the upcoming World Cup campaign and playing in the Premier League during the second half of the season could prove to be hugely beneficial for him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Toney would be a quality signing
If Manchester United manage to sign a player of his quality and experience on loan during the second half of the season, the move could prove to be a masterstroke for them. He could form a solid partnership with Benjamin Sesko and help Manchester United in the final third. He is more than just a goalscorer and he will help create opportunities for his teammates as well.
The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in England will be quite exciting for the player. He is at the peak of his career and this could be his final opportunity to join an elite club in the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether the 29-year-old decides to force an exit from the Saudi Arabian club.
