Why it matters for Ivan Toney
Toney's impressive debut campaign saw him score 30 times in 44 games, earning a recall to the England national team last May. His current form has sparked speculation about a potential January transfer deal.
What comes next?
Manchester United are believed to be on the hunt for a new forward, but only if Joshua Zirkzee departs. A loan move to AS Roma for Zirkzee could free up financial room for United to re-establish their interest in Ivan Toney.
Ivan Toney's move to Al-Ahli was reportedly for a fee of £40 million. The striker has been in fine form, scoring three goals in his last four games for the Royals.
The Manchester Evening News has revealed that Toney's recent goal has delivered a clear statement to potential suitors, including Manchester United. Toney's experience and goal-scoring record make him an attractive option for the Red Devils.
Toney could add to his record this season as Al-Ahli face former Red Devil Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr side. The English striker's form will be closely watched by Manchester United and other potential suitors.
Ivan Toney's transfer links with Manchester United have reignited, with the January transfer window offering a potential opportunity for the Red Devils to sign the 29-year-old striker. Toney's goal-scoring form and experience make him a strong candidate for a transfer deal.
