MU Transfers: Despite having 5 new players, Man United still doesn’t want to stop when Ten Hag needs another striker. Man Utd’s target is a striker who is being sought after by Chelsea, Arsenal and many other Premier League giants.
Man United have just completed the 5th blockbuster deal in the summer transfer market of 2024 when they successfully recruited Manuel Ugarte from PSG. The Red Devils had to split the transfer fee of 50 million euros and 10 million euros in additional fees to get the Uruguayan midfielder. Meanwhile, Scott McTominay will leave MU to move to Napoli for 30 million euros.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Man United are not ready to stop yet. Coach Erik ten Hag is considering adding a striker in the context of Rasmus Hojlund’s possible return, while Joshua Zirkzee does not tend to play as a target man but will operate more widely.
The name that MU is targeting at the moment is Ivan Toney, the striker who was dropped by Brentford in the opening two matches of the 2024/25 Premier League. Coach Thomas Frank confirmed that the English striker is not injured, but he wants this striker to make a clear decision about his future when his contract only lasts until the end of the season. If Ivan Toney does not agree to extend, Brentford will find a way to push him out this summer.
The Bees have reduced their asking price for Ivan Toney from £60m to £50m, which is not too high considering what Ivan Toney has achieved in the Premier League. Both Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested in the 28-year-old striker, but he has expressed his desire to contribute to Man Utd.
The transfer window in England will close on August 30, meaning that MU must quickly negotiate with Brentford before the third round of the Premier League takes place. The Red Devils are also completing the final procedures to announce Manuel Ugarte, with the hope that he will be available for the match against Liverpool this weekend.
