Manchester United have been linked with a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney, and they could use the same tactic that saw them sign Mason Mount and Leny Yoro
Manchester United could outmanoeuvre their rivals in the race for Ivan Toney's signature by disregarding his contract and meeting Brentford's financial demands.
Brentford are holding firm on their £60m asking price for their star player, even though he has publicly stated his readiness for a big move. United could employ the same shrewd tactic used to secure Mount and Yoro, attempting to snatch Toney for a fee while other clubs wait to sign him on a free deal next year.
United pulled off a similar coup this summer, snatching Yoro from Real Madrid's grasp. The defender was on course to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer in 2025, but United stepped in, agreed to Lille's £58m asking price and secured his services.
