David Ornstein has predicted that Manchester United would sign one of Europe’s finest strikers this summer.

The Athletic’s football writer made the remarks during a Q&A session earlier on Thursday.

Ornstein is regarded as one of the most dependable writers in the business, therefore a number of fans rushed to his Q&A session to get exclusive information on what to expect in the transfer market this summer.

Manchester United fans may have noticed an odd response to one question during the Q&A session.

David Ornstein expects striker to join Manchester United.First and foremost, we must emphasize that Ornstein’s response to this query was entirely opinionated, with no actual information on the likelihood of this arrangement.

Nonetheless, all things considered, Ornstein believes Ivan Toney will join Manchester United this summer.

When asked where he thinks the Brentford No.17 would land up this summer, the highly recognized writer responded: “This is purely an opinion and not information, but I do wonder about Manchester United. They have long sought to strengthen their front line; Ten Hag desired Kane, while Hojlund was always viewed (despite the price) as a development signing – one for the future.

“Hojlund has done an excellent job, but it is a great burden and load on the body for a relatively inexperienced 21-year-old. With Martial expected to leave and doubt about the futures of others, perhaps there is room for a Toney. If they decide to, it may come down to whether they are willing to pay Brentford’s asking price.”

Ivan Toney Price Tag

The Mirror reports that Brentford wants £100 million to sell the England international this summer.

However, this could simply be an instance of the Bees trying to terrify clubs.

According to Sportslens, Edu, Arsenal’s Director of Football, feels a transfer could be done for around £60 million, given Toney will only have 12 months left on his contract at Brentford this summer.

Nonetheless, unless Brentford are relegated this season, Thomas Frank’s side can stand firm, therefore they may be serious about the £100 million price tag.

Whatever the sum, signing Toney is likely to be prohibitively expensive, despite the fact that his performances in the Premier League have been comparable to those of a world-class striker.

Only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane scored more than the 28-year-old’s 20 Premier League goals last season, indicating that he is capable of repaying a large transfer fee.

Keep a watch on the situation, since anything may happen during the summer transfer season.
