‘He can play in any team’ – Ten Hag told to sign this Premier League star

Former Manchester United star Louis Saha has urged the United hierarchy to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

The Frenchman believes the England international’s flexibility and strong mentality makes him suitable for the club.

Speaking via Metro, he said:

“Ivan can adapt to any team. He’s mentally very strong, so I’m confident that he will make the right decision for himself. He can play in any team because of how strong and technically gifted he is. Ivan’s also very mobile and has the right formula you need to play as a striker for any club.”

He added: “Manchester United certainly need more options up front as all the top clubs have various options to choose from.”

Meanwhile, Toney had been sidelined after being suspended for eight months for betting violations.

The England international attracted a lot of interest from rivals, Chelsea and Arsenal after his impressive performances for Brentford.

He scored 20 goals and provided four assists in 33 league appearances for the Bees last season.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester Untied will heed to Saha’s advice and sign the English striker in January.
