Manchester United is focusing on signing new strikers at the summer transfer window.
Previous signatures such as Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have not met expectations and have forced the club to seek alternatives in the market.
Both current United attackers have scored six Premier League goals this season, demonstrating how desperate they are to sign a new striker at the summer transfer window.
According to ESPN, United have shifted their focus to searching for new strikers, prioritizing Liam Dellup over other targets such as Viktor Gyoker, Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Sesko.
Dellup, a 22-year-old striker, is an Ipswichtown star performer this season, scoring 12 goals.
Despite his contributions, Ipswich faces relegation and is currently 18th in the Premier League.
This situation will activate the terms of Delap’s agreement and make it available for a transfer fee of £40 million.
United are also expected to raise funds from current players’ sales, so there’s no problem getting that price.
Man United faces competition to sign a young striker
However, Man United faces competition with Chelsea. Chelsea are also keen to sign Dellup.
Chelsea’s Champions League potential qualifications could influence Delap’s decision and provide the opportunity to play in European Premier Club competitions.
Delap could arrive at Old Trafford this summer, but Jadon Sancho is expected to leave the club in a permanent move.
It remains to be seen whether he will join Chelsea or any other club this summer.
His interest in Delap is consistent with Ruben Amorim’s need to sign two important players this summer. Striker and midfielder.
Ipswichtown manager Kieran McKenna praised Dellup’s development and potential by saying:
“He has made great progress and shows off some outstanding performances, but there’s still a lot to come.”
