Manchester United are preparing to make a move for Ivan Toney in the January transfer window due to Benjamin Sesko's injury and Joshua Zirkzee's lack of impact. Toney has been identified as a potential solution, having scored 14 goals and provided two assists this season. He is valued at £13 million on Transfermarkt, making him a potentially bargain signing. The Red Devils are looking to bolster their attacking options.

Toney's Premier League experience and clinical finishing would be a valuable asset for Manchester United, providing depth and options off the bench. He would be a solid signing in the medium-term while Benjamin Sesko recovers from injury. Toney's understanding of the Premier League and link-up play would be particularly useful.

A new signing like Toney could give Manchester United momentum in the FA Cup, their most likely title opportunity this season, and potentially help them climb the Premier League standings. However, it is uncertain whether Toney would be willing to take a pay cut to return to the Premier League, as his current salary in Saudi Arabia is likely to be higher than what Manchester United can offer.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Manchester United’s ship is steadied for now as they secured a vital 3-2 win over AS Roma on Tuesday in the Champions League, with Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha helping overturn a two-goal deficit to seal victory after a nine-match winless run. Cunha’s second goal was particularly well taken and though he is able to supply the goods in the final third, Bryan Mbeumo is being tasked with playing as the centre forward owing to Benjamin Sesko’s injury. Sesko’s fitness woes will now keep him out until January, and Joshua Zirkzee’s lack of impact means United are prepared to enter the transfer market in the January transfer window to bring in a new number nine.
