Ivan Toney: Brentford boss issues huge summer transfer update amid Man Utd 'interest'

Manchester United are among several clubs to be credited with an interest in Brentford and England striker Ivan Toney.

And Brentford boss Thomas Frank has conceded that Toney is likely to leave Brentford when the summer transfer window opens. Toney, who has just returned to action after being suspended from football for breaching the Football Association’s betting rules, has been linked with a move to Arsenal and Manchester United among others.

Toney’s return to football has seen him score two goals in three games as he aims to help the Bees steer clear of relegation danger. Speaking to Danish media, via Tipsbladet, Frank said: “It is relatively obvious that Ivan Toney will probably be sold this summer. We also know what he is worth. I don’t think there are many strikers in the world who are better than him right now.

“He is a really skilled striker who is in his prime football age. Personally, as a coach, I would prefer to keep Toney but one day it could be fun to see him on a top team. This winter we actually had no offers for him, but it will surprise me if there aren’t a lot of clubs that will be interested in him."
