According to the British press, MU is said to be watching to buy striker Toney if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Old Trafford. The possibility of leaving CR7 in the next transfer window is very high when the 37-year-old striker often sits on the bench after coach Erik ten Hag arrived last summer.
MU is closely following striker Toney
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are both prioritized to start in the “Red Devils” squad this season. Even when playing, Ronaldo only scored 2 goals after 10 appearances.
According to The Sun, the Portuguese superstar is being linked with a move away from Old Trafford when the upcoming winter transfer window opens. If this happens, the Calciomercato news site believes that MU is monitoring Toney’s situation before approaching negotiations.

Ronaldo is said to still want to leave MU
Toney has scored six Premier League goals in nine games so far this season. He was also the top scorer for Brentford last season with 14 goals, a year after setting a record 31 in the Championship (2nd Division) to win promotion. Great form saw him call up England for the first time in the UEFA Nations League last month against Italy and Germany.
The 26-year-old has a contract with Brentford until 2025, and the team hope to keep him by offering him a new contract, worth £100,000 a week. This move comes in the context of interest in signing Toney from a series of Premier League teams, when in addition to MU there are also Leeds, Newcastle and West Ham.
