Ivan Toney is reportedly seeking a salary that would surpass that of Manchester United’s skipper. Despite Brentford’s position in the standings, Toney is expected to leave the Gtech Community Stadium in the summer. While he may be a good fit for manager Erik ten Hag, his demands could cause friction with top earner Fernandes. The Premier League team best suited for Toney remains to be seen.
Despite being the captain, Fernandes is not the highest earner at Old Trafford. Mason Mount and Anthony Martial also earn £250,000 per week, but Martial is expected to leave in the summer. Additionally, there is uncertainty about Varane’s future at the club as no new contract agreement has been reached. Toney’s performance has been lacking recently, and his comments before a match against Burnley upset some Brentford fans.
The situation with Toney raises questions about which Premier League club he might join in the summer. It’s been suggested Toney could fit well with Manchester United, even though potential salary demands might cause issues with the team’s current top earner, Fernandes. The uncertainty around Varane and Martial further complicates the situation, leaving the final decision about Toney’s future destination unclear.
