Summary
Gary Pallister has suggested Manchester United revisit their interest in Ivan Toney, arguing the 30-year-old striker would strengthen their title challenge. The former United defender told Betarades.gr that Carrick's side need an experienced Premier League operator after their front three managed just four goals in the opening five games, with Benjamin Sesko limited to 76 minutes by injury.
Toney, who was previously linked with Old Trafford while at Brentford, moved to Saudi Arabia instead and has since earned an England recall. Pallister acknowledged the financial hurdle but praised Toney's proven goalscoring record, noting he scored 32 league goals last season and 36 in 83 Premier League appearances for Brentford.
