Dion Dublin has urged Manchester United to sign Ivan Toney and says the Brentford striker would get ‘even better’ at Old Trafford.
Despite the uncertainty over a potential ban for breaking FA betting rules, Toney has enjoyed another impressive season in west London, scoring 19 goals in 30 Premier League appearances.
The 27-year-old was on target in Brentford’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday as Thomas Frank’s side ended a run of three straight defeats.
Manchester United are expected to sign a new striker this summer after releasing Cristiano Ronaldo earlier in the season and bringing in Wout Weghorst as a short-term solution in January.
The Red Devils have been linked with Tottenham captain Harry Kane and Napoli star Victor Osimhen, but Dublin believes Toney would be a decent alternative.
The former England striker told William Hill: ‘In my opinion he is good enough to go and play for Manchester United, and I think he’d only get better if he went there.
‘Erik ten Hag likes a big striker and they need a proven goal-scorer so maybe they should take a look at Ivan Toney.’
Ex-England manager Sam Allardyce also heaped praise on Toney and said he is surprised a big club hasn’t make a serious move for the Bees striker.
‘Thomas Frank is doing a fantastic job at Brentford and I wonder if a bigger club will come in for him soon,’ Allardyce said.
‘When you look at the likes of Ivan Toney you have to think, why is he not going somewhere else? Why is someone not bidding 80 or 100 million for him?
‘He is awesome. He’s learned how to play in the Premier League and is scoring more goals than ever before. He’s proven now.’

How is toney overrated, are u. Football or just chatting
He isn't great thsts why, signing players that don't know what winning taste like is dumb. We need players who win trophys and have champions league experience. Scoring a few tap ins for Brentford don't make you great.

i signed Harry Kane in my Fifa 2023 game as number 1 target for Manchester United. Guys the men was bad. he had only 10 goals in all competition playing for Manchester United despite having the top midfield like Bruno, Casemiro, Ericksen and Berlingham on my team so this indicated how bad the striker becomes once he moves from playing for 1 club in many years to another new club. if supercomputer can decide the winner of the epl before the season starts so what can stop me from gambling

Erik Ten Hag needs to reinstate Mason Greenwood and add another sharp striker to the attacking force.

I'm still stunned that no top club is looking towards Toney. dude is doing fine and scoring goals. have a pressing attitude and on the pitch arrogance a good striker needs so as to trouble defense.

Football success is achieved through a soccer play systems, Erik Ten Hag, should create a football play system where every Man. Utd player should fit into such football play system...
so what you want him to to overate other country players but not his own.
