Man Utd ‘internally discuss’ two Premier League strikers as Ratcliffe targets Arsenal ‘obsession’

Man Utd have internally discussed signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney or Everton s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, according to reports.

The Red Devils have been busy in Sir Jim Ratcliffe s first summer transfer window at the club, landing Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee for a combined £88million.

Ratcliffe s business is far from finished with manager Erik ten Hag expected to be strongly backed after agreeing a new contract.

The club s new co-owner will need to sell a few players to continue his spending spree, with Scott McTominay, Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka among those being linked with an exit.

McTominay is attracting interest from Fulham and Galatasaray as Man Utd seek around £30m for the Scotland midfielder.

In terms of incoming signings, the Premier League giants are interested in signing a centre-midfielder, another centre-back and possibly even another striker to compete with Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund.

Surprisingly, one of the strikers Man Utd are looking at is Everton s Calvert-Lewin.

Less surprisingly, they have also internally discussed Brentford frontman Toney, who is out of contract next year and available for £50m.

This is all according to , where it is claimed that Man Utd are keen on improving their attack further after buying Zirkzee for £36.5m.

The report claims:

There is scope for United to add to their attacking department before the window closes. Ivan Toney and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have been discussed internally.

Last summer, Toney would have been worth between £80million and £100million ($103.4m and $129.2m) but his long-term betting ban and injury have changed that. Sources at his club value him at more than £50million, depending on interest from elsewhere.

Despite the lack of formal interest, keep an eye on Toney. Selling him makes sense on a club level, while sources, who remain anonymous to protect relationships, close to the player also regard this as a possible calm before the storm.

If one club moves, expect others to join the race before long.

Meanwhile, centre-back targets Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich) and Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton) can not be ruled out despite the £52m signing of Yoro.

Again, it is stated that outgoings will be a huge factor in Man Utd s transfer plans moving forward.
