Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer, has urged Manchester United to sign Brentford striker, Ivan Toney before the end of the transfer window on Friday night.
Shearer described Toney as an excellent footballer, adding that will do a good job for the Red Devils should he join Erik ten Hag’s side.
“I like Ivan Toney,” Shearer told Betfair.
“I think he can do a really good job for someone – he’s an excellent player.
“I am slightly surprised that Man United haven’t enquired about him.
“Maybe they have, maybe there’s something brewing behind the scenes that we don’t know about, but I think he’d do pretty well at Old Trafford.
“I thought they were poor in forward areas against Brighton and without Hojlund – I know they have signed Zirkzee – but they are playing Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount as two false nines and up to now, I’m not sure that’s worked for them. I think Ivan Toney would be a really good option for them.”
