Man Utd ‘in talks to sign Ipswich star Liam Delap but face FIVE-WAY fight’ for former City ace dubbed ‘Kane’s heir’

MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly held internal talks over a potential move for Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at Portman Road following his £20million move from Manchester City in July.

Man Utd are reportedly targeting a move for Liam Delap

In 28 Premier League appearances, Delap has scored 10 goals and provided two assists.

And with Ipswich facing relegation back to the Championship at the end of the campaign, he is being tipped for a move away.

The Daily Mail claims that Man Utd are among the clubs interested.

United officials held internal discussions over the potential transfer in recent weeks.

Delap is also being monitored by the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and Man City, his former club.

The reigning Prem champions allegedly have a buy-back clause for the striker, while United technical director Jason Wilcox knows him from his time at City's academy.

Delap, the son of Stoke City icon Rory Delap, joined Derby County‘s academy at the age of six and spent 10 years at the club before moving to Man City.

He made his first team debut in a Carabao Cup clash with Bournemouth in September 2020 and received praise from Pep Guardiola.

But the striker struggled to nail down a regular spot in the starting line-up and was sent on loan to Stoke, Preston and Hull before joining Ipswich permanently.

He is now being lined up for another transfer.

Man Utd are expected to prioritise signing new forward this summer.

Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have struggled to meet expectations this season.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford could make his Aston Villa loan permanent for £40m at the end of the campaign.

The Red Devils could also find themselves in a tricky situation with Jadon Sancho, who is currently on loan at Chelsea until June.

The Blues have an obligation to buy the winger but could pay a fee of £5m to back out of the deal.
