EXCLUSIVEMan United step up chase for Liam Delap with key advantage in five-way battle for £40m star

Manchester United have held more discussions internally over a potential summer move for Ipswich striker Liam Delap.

The England Under 21 international has a release clause in the region of £40million if Ipswich are relegated from the Premier League, which makes him more affordable than the likes of Hugo Ekitike, who is valued at closer to £70m by Eintracht Frankfurt.

Delap also has the benefit of Premier League experience having scored 10 times in the top flight for Ipswich this season despite their struggles at the foot of the table.

However, United will face competition from a number of rivals including Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and his old club Manchester City who have a buyback option on the 22-year-old.
