Press reports revealed the only reason that led Manchester United to exclude one of the stars transferred to the Saudi Professional League, from its list of options to strengthen the Red Devils’ attack this summer..
Former Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who was expected to move to a major club in the English Premier League, ended all speculation in the last days of the Mercato and joined Al-Ahly Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for 40 million pounds sterling..
According to ESPN, Toni was excluded from coach Eric ten Hag’s roster, because he was not pressuring the defenders with the required energy, despite the Dutchman’s admiration for the English striker’s scoring record..
Over the past two seasons, United spent £72 million to sign Rasmus Hoyland, who scored 10 goals in the Italian League, and £36.5 million to sign Joshua Zirkzee, who scored 11 goals for Bologna in the 2023-2024 season..
Tony’s best season in the English Premier League was in 2022-2023, where he scored 20 goals and helped Brentford occupy ninth place..
However, he has only scored four goals in 17 appearances after returning from a betting ban last season, and Brentford are coping well without him..
