It turns out Tottenham’s pursuit of Ivan Toney might not be straight-forward this summer, with 90 min now reporting that the Manchester United hierarchy are big fans of the striker.

Just a couple of days ago, GiveMeSport reported that Spurs’ pursuit of Toney had been boosted as some of their rivals are hesitant to move for the Brentford star.

The report claimed that Arsenal do not consider the 27-year-old to be a target while Man Utd have reservations over a move for the England star.

It was suggested that even though the Bees value the centre-forward at  £60m, Ange Postecoglou?s men could test their resolve by submitting a £45m offer for the player.

The outlet says that the Red Devils want to add a number nine to their squad this summer and are big admirers of the Brentford man.

It is revealed that Erik Ten Hag’s men believe that the striker would bring experience and leadership to their dressing room and they like ‘his confidence that borders on swagger’.

The publication adds that the Manchester club could thus be willing to meet Toney’s bumper salary demands, which are believed to be in the region of £250,000 per week.
