Manchester United Holds Talks with Liam Delap, Pursues Multiple Forwards

Manchester United are actively pursuing the signing of 22-year-old striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town, following face-to-face talks and Delap's permission to visit Old Trafford. Delap, who scored 12 goals in his first Premier League season, has a £30 million release clause triggered by Ipswich's relegation, making him an attractive target amid competition from clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle. United are also progressing on a separate deal for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, whose £62.5 million release clause is expected to be met, with negotiations on personal terms ongoing. The Red Devils aim to strengthen their attacking options after a disappointing season, with current strikers underperforming and the club sitting 16th in the Premier League. United's ability to sign both players is not contingent on the outcome of their Europa League final against Tottenham, though qualification for the Champions League could further boost their pursuit. Other potential attacking targets include Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres, and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, as United look to revamp their squad under Ruben Amorim.
