Ivan Toney’s future with Brentford remains uncertain, but it seems increasingly probable that he will be leaving the club.
Toney, 28, has caught the interest of Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham this summer. With only a year remaining on his contract with Brentford, the England international is expected to leave within the next 12 months, though his destination is still uncertain.
BetVictor’s latest odds suggest Manchester United has emerged as an unexpected contender. Despite already signing Joshua Zirkzee this summer, United may seek additional players following Rasmus Hojlund’s pre-season injury. A transfer to Old Trafford for Toney is currently priced at 2/1, while Tottenham (3/1) and Arsenal (4/1) are also strong candidates for securing the former Newcastle player.
Manchester United is expected to be active in the transfer market, with strong odds favoring moves for Jarrad Branthwaite (1/4) and Matthijs De Ligt (1/4). Jadon Sancho’s future is also in question, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly interested in him. Erik ten Hag has addressed his summer plans, emphasizing that it will take time to determine which players United will pursue.
“I want the squad to be as strong as possible,” Ten Hag told reporters in the United States. “We’ve already made two excellent signings, so when everyone is fit, we have a team capable of beating anyone. However, we need to improve our squad depth. We are aware that we are vulnerable when injuries occur, and we need to address this by reducing injuries and improving our squad’s resilience.”
“Secondly, our squad needs to be strong in terms of depth. While we have quality, we need to improve our depth to keep up. This season will be a test of survival of the fittest.”
