Manchester United is reportedly considering a move for Ipswich Town forward Liam Delap after internal discussions.
The 22-year-old striker has impressed this season at Portman Road, following a £20 million transfer from Manchester City last July.
Delap has scored 10 goals and provided two assists in 28 Premier League games this season.
With Ipswich Town potentially facing relegation from the Premier League, a transfer for Delap is anticipated.
According to reports, Manchester United is among several clubs showing interest in the young talent.
Manchester United officials have reportedly held internal meetings to discuss the possibility of signing Delap in the upcoming transfer window.
Besides Manchester United, other top clubs including Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Manchester City are also said to be monitoring Delap`s situation.
Manchester City, his former club, reportedly has a buy-back clause for the player. Furthermore, Jason Wilcox, Manchester United`s technical director, is familiar with Delap from his time at Manchester City`s academy.
Liam Delap, son of former Stoke City player Rory Delap, started his youth career at Derby County before joining Manchester City at age 16.
He made his senior debut for Manchester City in a Carabao Cup match in September 2020 and received praise from manager Pep Guardiola.
Despite initial promise, Delap found it challenging to secure a regular first-team spot at Manchester City and was subsequently loaned to Stoke, Preston, and Hull before making a permanent move to Ipswich.
Now, he is once again the subject of transfer speculation as Manchester United looks to bolster their attacking options.
Signing a new forward is reportedly a priority for Manchester United this summer.
Current forwards Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have not fully lived up to expectations this season.
Additionally, Marcus Rashford`s loan to Aston Villa could become permanent for a fee of £40 million at the end of the season.
Manchester United also faces uncertainty with Jadon Sancho, currently on loan at Chelsea, who may return in June depending on Chelsea`s decision to exercise their buy option.
