Sir Jim Ratcliffe urged to make Ivan Toney approach
Premier League legend Alan Shearer has urged United to consider a move for Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
The England international has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this week, but Shearer believes he should snub the approaches in favour of joining the Red Devils if an approach is made.
He told Betfair: “He only has one year left on his contract, and I understand why some players would want to go to Saudi Arabia, but for someone like him who's in the prime of his career, he's got another four or five years ahead of him and I would hope that he stays in English football because I think he has a lot to offer.
“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.”
