Both players are expected to leave Chelsea and Brentford respectively after each being omitted from their clubs’ matchday squads for the first two Premier League games.
Chelsea have recently made contact with Toney to renew their interest and it now looks as though United are set to compete for his signature against the Blues. Despite having signed Joshua Zirkzee, 12 months on from acquiring the services of Rasmus Hojlund, the Reds appear keen on signing another forward.
Toney is expected to cost in the region of £50million and he would add a new dynamic to United’s team which would allow Ten Hag to deploy Bruno Fernandes further back. Sterling is another attacking target for the Reds with a sensational swap deal also involving Jadon Sancho on the cards.
Juventus are also interested in both England internationals and the Italian club could soon make a formal move for either with Federico Chiesa on his way to Liverpool. However, United will be hoping that Sancho can seal a switch to Stamford Bridge in order for Sterling to join.
If both forwards arrive before Friday, August 30, Ten Hag would have Zirkzee, Amad, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Antony as his fit and available attacking options, though the latter could be sacrificed on occasion to offer suitable depth in other positions. Hojlund will also likely head straight back into the squad once he returns from injury.
In midfield, there will be one major change with Scott McTominay heading to Napoli in a permanent deal. His exit has opened the door for Manuel Ugarte to join from Paris Saint-Germain with official confirmation of the Uruguayan’s arrival to arrive in the next 24 hours.
He will subsequently join Casemiro, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo as Ten Hag’s midfield options with the quartet providing him with a nice balance of ball-winners, box-to-box midfielders and traditional No.6’s. Defensively, new arrivals Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt will definitely be joined Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire.
Jonny Evans is expected to continue being involved while Leny Yoro recovers from the ankle injury he picked up in pre-season. As for the goalkeeping department, Andre Onana will looks set to be supported by Altay Bayindir with the Turkiye international making up Ten Hag’s 20-man squad.
Dream 20-man United squad with Toney:
Goalkeepers: Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir.
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans.
Midfielders: Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount.
