Man United Lead Delap, Cunha Transfer Race

Manchester United and Chelsea are both competing to sign Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, who is set to leave following Ipswich's relegation and has a £30 million release clause. Arsenal and Newcastle have also shown interest in Delap, but United are now seen as frontrunners, especially with Delap favoring a move to Old Trafford. Delap’s decision may hinge on whether United secure Champions League qualification by winning the Europa League final. Manchester United are also nearing a £62.5 million deal for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha as part of manager Ruben Amorim's squad rebuild. Chelsea’s pursuit is motivated by Enzo Maresca’s prior working relationship with Delap, but United’s project appeals more to the striker. These moves highlight United's effort to revamp their attack after a disappointing season.
