Liam Delap has emerged as one of Manchester United’s top targets to upgrade their strikers this summer.

With current options Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failing to live up to their transfer fees, United are forced to shake things up to improve next season.

It’s understood that The Red Devils have already decided that Hojlund’s future lies elsewhere, aiming to sell the striker in the summer.

However, the same can’t be said about Zirkzee, who has Amorim’s confidence that he can grow to lead the side up top.

However, whilst Zirkzee is developing, another striker is needed who can make an immediate impact, hence the interest in Liam Delap.

Despite Ipswich facing relegation, Delap has had a fantastic breakthrough season, scoring 12 goals with two assists in 34 games.

It’s also understood that the striker could be available for only £30 million if, or more likely, when, Ipswich are relegated, making him a more cost-effective option for United.

Liam Delap reveals concerns over Manchester United move

However, The Daily Star has now reported that Delap is favouring a move to Stamford Bridge over Old Trafford.

The report explains that Delap is favouring sides that can offer him European football, with both Arsenal and Chelsea being able to provide this.

Admittedly, it isn’t completely out of the question for United, who could still end up in the Champions League, but only by winning the Europa League this season.

If United can beat Lyon tonight they’ll be a step close to the trophy, with the club’s future seemingly resting on the tournament.

A slot in the Champions League would also provide United with £100 million in extra revenue, helping the club to ease their financial pressures, as well as avoiding a £10 million penalty clause with kit sponsors Adidas.
