Manchester United are considering a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

United are seeking a new centre-forward signing in January to ease pressure on young Dane Rasmus Hojlund.

The Daily Star Sunday says Toney is on their shortlist, who could be on the move over the New Year.

Toney, who is serving a betting ban, changed agents earlier this season sparking talk that he was preparing to leave the Bees.

For their part, Brentford are reluctant to lose Toney and have slapped a £65m price-tag on the striker.

Toney will return to action in January when his seven month suspension ends.
