Manchester United cannot afford Ivan Toney

United might have a different scenario next summer. They may have to rely on Toney being available from May 2024 onward, potentially with additional funds from Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment. Darragh MacAnthony, Toney’s former chairman at Peterborough United, suggests that Toney could be a significant signing for United, valuing him as a potential £80 to £90 million striker. Brentford’s savvy operations make them formidable negotiators, and with United under new ownership and a new director, Toney could be a prime target for them.
