According to a report from the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United could attempt to sign Tony during the winter transfer window to replace injured Sesko.
Reports suggest that Manchester United may need to look for a new center forward in the January transfer window next year, as Sesko suffered a knee injury in the draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
If the Red Devils decide to look for a striker, a worthy option to consider is Ivan Toney. The English centre-forward has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, and now could be the best time for him to join Manchester United.
This season, Tony scored 11 goals in 15 games, but it feels like he still has an unfinished Premier League mission, having previously shone on the Premier League stage at Brentford between 2020 and 2024.
Mbeumo and Toney worked together at Brentford for four years, helping the Bees establish their Premier League status. They formed a highly threatening partnership upfront, with a combined 16 goals or assists for each other during this period.
Although Mbeumo will miss at least part of the matches in January due to the Africa Cup of Nations, he is expected to rekindle his former understanding with Toni at Manchester United once he returns. Even though Sesko's absence is not long-term, Tony's arrival can still add more options to Manchester United's attacking end, and it may also lead Zirkzee to leave the team due to lack of playing time.
The front three with Mbeumo on the right wing, Tony in the center, and Cunha on the left wing could bring devastating attacking power to Manchester United and Amorim in the second half of this season.
Tony will turn 30 in March next year, and Manchester United may try to lower the price and persuade him to transfer.

Be careful. If this combination worked at Brentford doesn't automatically mean that it will work at United. Systems change, game dynamics are never constant. Recruit Tony if He is fit and completes the puzzle 🧩 - not because "had a chemistry with Mbeumo"
