Liam Delap has admitted he is “so happy” at Ipswich Town and is not focusing on his future amid transfer speculation linking him with Manchester United.
The 22-year-old striker left Manchester City last summer to join Ipswich in a £15million move.
He has impressed in his first full Premier League season, scoring nine goals in 23 appearances.
His form has attracted interest from several clubs, with United said to be monitoring him closely.

It was reported from CentreDevils that United are considering Delap as an option, especially if Ipswich are relegated.
According to The Athletic, United believe Viktor Gyokeres is unlikely to join them as he prefers a Champions League club.
This has led them to look at alternatives, with Delap emerging as a possible target.
A move to United would reunite him with CEO Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox.
Both worked at Manchester City during Delap’s time there.
City also have a £29.5m buy-back option, which could impact any potential move.
Despite the growing speculation, Delap insists he is focused only on Ipswich.
“I’m so happy here, I’m enjoying it so much here,” he told the East Anglian Daily Times.
“I just look forward to playing football.
“I take every game as it comes and focus on the next.”
He also admitted he tries to block out outside noise.
“It [the media speculation] is something that I try and stay away from,” he said.

“People around me have told me to stay away from it.
“It’s something that I’m very good at in focusing on what I want to do.
“That’s playing football here.”
Delap added that he values playing regularly and is fully committed to his current club.
“I’m really enjoying my time here and I enjoy playing every week.
“That’s the most important thing.”
“We know, as players and people, that there is noise.
“If we have a bad game and people are slating us for not performing or getting the right results, we stay focused on ourselves and what we have to achieve.”
Ipswich currently sit 19th in the table, with their Premier League future uncertain.
If they go down, Delap could be on the move.
But for now, his focus remains on the task at hand.
