Man Utd join Ivan Toney transfer race as they prepare to battle three Premier League rivals for Brentford striker | The Sun

MANCHESTER United have reportedly got involved in the fight over Ivan Toney who could be at the centre of a three-way transfer battle.

With less than three weeks to go before the Premier League season begins, it emerged that Newcastle and Leeds were circling around the Brentford striker.

Now reports suggest that United have joined the battle – only days after beating the West London club in the fight for Christian Eriksen.

The Mirror report Erik ten Hag and the club hierarchy are keeping tabs on Toney.

West Ham are also rumoured to be interested as top-flight teams scramble for more firepower before the window closes.

Toney hit 14 goals and got six assists in his debut top-flight season as the Bees comfortably avoided relegation.

The Frenchman has started well in pre-season and has two goals in two games, but it is not certain he will be ten Hag's main choice up front.
