Tottenham Hotspur have just been handed a potential boost in their pursuit of Ivan Toney, with The Daily Mail revealing that Manchester United are expected to pull out of the race for the Brentford star.
Toney has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs all summer, with GiveMeSport reporting last week that the Lilywhites are expected to make a ‘serious push’ for the striker once he returns from the Euros.
The outlet claimed that Ange Postecoglou’s men are hoping to land the centre-forward for around £40m while Brentford are continuing to insist on £60m.
However, over the weekend, SportBILD offered Spurs a blow by suggesting that Man Utd are also intent on landing Toney and that the player was keen on a switch to Old Trafford.
If The Mail’s latest update is to be believed, Toney is no longer a target for United after they acquired Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
Having spent £36.5m for the Netherlands international, the report says that Erik Ten Hag’s men are not in a position to spend big to sign another centre-forward.
The publication adds that as things stand, Toney is not currently viewed as a ‘realistic signing’ by the Manchester club.

With Arsenal focused on other alternatives and with Man Utd now out of the running, it seems like only West Ham and Chelsea are Tottenham’s competitors for Toney’s signature this summer.
The route does seem to be clearing for Spurs to pull off a sensational deal.
