Former England midfielder, Danny Murphy, has advised Manchester United and their manager Erik ten Hag to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford this summer. According to the former Liverpool man, Manchester United need more in the position despite bringing in Rasmus Hojlund last January and Joshua Zirkzee this summer.
Murphy said this after new signing Zirkzee came off the bench to net a winner against Fulham in the season opener on Saturday. He also claimed that Hojlund is not the answer to United's problems either. Murphy told the Daily Mail, 'Joshua Zirkzee has made a dream start at Manchester United and looks a wonderful talent.
But sorry to disappoint United fans, he is not going to be the answer to their goalscoring problems. 'The Dutchman is strong and skilful, but not a proper centre forward. He likes to come to the ball and is more comfortable as a No. 10 or wide. His scoring record at Bologna was a goal every four games- not great. 'Unless United go for a genuine No. 9 like Ivan Toney in the last couple of weeks of the transfer window, I think you can discount their top-four prospects.
