Manchester United target cut-price Liam Delap

Manchester United face stiff competition for Liam Delap as a host of clubs chase the England Under-21 striker for a knockdown £30 million in the event Ipswich Town are relegated.

Delap, 22, has emerged as a primary transfer target for United this summer as they bid to address their chronic shortage of goals.

But a number of other Premier League clubs, notably Chelsea, also hold a strong interest in Delap as they weigh up their summer options. There is also interest from Germany, who have proven adept at recruiting emerging English talents in recent years, and Italy.
