Manchester United won’t be fighting for Chelsea target Ivan Toney

According to ESPN, Manchester United will pull out of the race for Ivan Toney. The Daily Star had reported that Arsenal and Chelsea are attempting to sign the 27-year-old. Spurs are also said to be joining the battle.

The Bees striker will be priced heavily. The expected price tag is near £100 million, something Sir Jim Ratcliffe isn’t willing to pay. The minority owner believes £70 million would have been an ideal price range.

Erik ten Hag needs a major revamp within his squad. The Dutchman had brought no significant changes at the club, if not worse. A prolific goal scorer like Ivan Toney could have made all the difference. The Old Trafford residents will need a new target to fortify themselves.

Jim Ratcliffe isn’t willing to fight for Toney

The club is full of misfiring forwards, leaving the fans quite annoyed. On the other hand, several players, especially prodigies, are reluctant to join Manchester United, considering its present state.

Chelsea’s long-road ahead of signing Toney

Ivan Toney is arguably the most popular striker in the Premier League. Several top-tier clubs are lining up to sign the prolific striker, with Chelsea being one of them. However, The Blues don’t find themselves as ‘clear favourites’.

Brentford are looking for one of the ‘top clubs’ to sell Toney. The player himself expressed his desire to play for a big club as tweeted by Fabrizio Romano on January 17, 2024.

Chelsea’s current scenario stops them from being called a ‘big club’. The club is in shambles in terms of management and results from the games. Ivan Toney returned from the ban enforced by FA that saw him out of action for eight months.

Upon return, he picked up right from where he left. The fine form will urge the English forward to graze for greener turfs. Should a better club come knocking, Toney won’t be thinking twice before snubbing Chelsea. Pochettino better have a strong plan ready.
