Manchester United will rival Chelsea in the race to sign Liam Delap this summer after identifying the Ipswich Town forward ahead of Viktor Gyökeres, Benjamin Sesko and Victor Osimhen as the solution to their goalscoring problems, sources have told ESPN.
Despite financial constraints that have led to the club's hierarchy, led by minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, imposing a series of job cuts and efficiency measures this season to stabilise United's finances and avoid breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), sources have said that coach Ruben Amorim will be backed in the transfer market this summer with a new centre-forward pinpointed as the priority.
