Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee and now the Red Devils have been handed a major boost as another striker wants to join the club.
Zirkzee will become the first signing of the INEOS era after Man United and Bologna agreed on the transfer of the Dutch attacker.
United’s transfer business has just started with the club also involved in talks with defenders Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro and Jarrad Branthwaite.
For the midfield position, Manuel Ugarte is being eyed by the club to take the position of Casemiro if he leaves the club this summer, which is looking highly likely.
According to journalist Christian Falk, Brentford and England attacker Ivan Toney wants to join Man United this summer.
Beside the Transfer of Joshua Zirkzee
(23), Manchester United is interested in Ivan Toney (28), striker, contract til 2025

❇️ Brentford is already informed by the Agent of the striker— Christian Falk (@cfbayern) July 13, 2024
Brentford star Toney is in the last year of his contract with the London side, and the Red Devils are keeping an eye on his situation.
With less than a year left on his contract, the England international is not interested in signing a new contract with the Bees anytime soon, which may force the club to cash in on him this summer.
The striker spent a large amount of time out of the team last season due to his ban for breaching betting rules and since his return, his form did not improve at all.
Man United could enter new season with THREE strikers
However, the season before last, he showed how lethal he can be when he scored 20 goals in the Premier League.
The potential arrival of Toney would mean that Man United will start the new season with three strikers at the club.
Rasmus Hojlund will be joined by Zirkzee and possibly Toney if United act on bringing the player to Old Trafford this summer.
Toney can provide experience, physicality and goal scoring talent to the United squad that struggled for goals last season.
