Manchester United admire Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap and are keeping tabs on him ahead of the next summer transfer window, according to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein.
The former Manchester City man has attracted the Red Devils and several other Premier League clubs after notching six goals and an assist in 13 appearances this season.
Man United could look to bring in attacking reinforcements ahead of 2025-26, and there is an expectation that Delap will join one of the Premier League’s big clubs if he continues to perform.
The 21-year-old was dubbed a ‘killer’ and an ‘incredible finisher’ by former manager Pep Guardiola.
Man City could make signing him difficult for the Old Trafford club as they put matching rights or buy-back clauses in most sales.
Man United striker Rasmus Hojlund reminded manager Ruben Amorim of his quality against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League last night.
He scored twice in the 3-2 win, but he has to prove himself consistently if he is to earn the trust of the Portuguese.
If the Denmark international and Joshua Zirkzee fail to convince their boss, a move for Delap could be on the cards, and the chance to play for a big club could be too tempting for him to turn down.
His physicality, impressive hold-up play, shooting, dribbling and productive involvement in build-up are qualities that Man United could need in a number nine.
Signing him could be huge, given his obvious potential and massive talents.
The forward is an explosive player with the needed technical skill to become one of the best strikers in the world, and Amorim could be keen to work with him if his current options keep struggling for consistency.
