Attacking reinforcements are of the essence this summer, if Ruben Amorim is to succeed at Manchester United.

Despite a change in manager earlier this season, the fans have still witnessed the likes of Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho struggle.

Goals have been scarce this season, with just 37 netted in the league this season.

While some have put it down to the 3-4-3 system, the lack of quality across the frontline is evident.

It is clear that the hierarchy are looking at attacking reinforcements, with movements expected in the summer.

Red Devils concretely interested in Liam Delap

The Athletic reports that Manchester United are keeping close tabs on Liam Delap as part of their plans to reinforce the forward line this summer.

Delap is viewed as a realistic target thanks to a £30m relegation clause at Ipswich Town.

He has scored 12 goals in a struggling relegation side under Kieran McKenna.

United technical director Jason Wilcox knows the player well from his Manchester City academy days and is leading interest in the 21-year-old.

The club hope to pair Delap with a more experienced forward.

An example being Matheus Cunha, with the Red Devils planning a double swoop for the pair.

Delap’s age, price, and Premier League potential make him a key target.

However, Chelsea and other clubs are ready to rival United for his signature.

The lack of Champions League football next season may be the downfall for United in their chase for Delap.
