Exclusive: Man United put duo up for sale as new signing ready to head in

Man United are ready to sell Joshua Zirkzee or Rasmus Hojlund to make way for top striker target Liam Delap, sources have told Football Insider.

The Ipswich Town star, 22, is set to arrive at Old Trafford in a £30million deal with United in pole position to secure his signature ahead of Chelsea and Everton.

Both Zirkzee, 23, and Hojlund, 22, have been inconsistent since arriving at Man United and Delap will get the starting spot if his arrival is finalised.

One of the two players will leave the Red Devils to free up space in the squad and raise funds for further summer business.

Zirkzee or Hojlund will depart Man United this summer

Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha is set to join Man United from Wolves but will play in a wide role under Ruben Amorim.

Chido Obi could also play a squad role for United in the future after his breakthrough from the youth ranks this season.

Zirkzee joined from Bologna last summer (2024) and has scored just seven goals in 48 games across all competitions this term.

He has struggled to play as an out-and-out forward in the Premier League after starring in a false nine role in Italy.

Meanwhile, Hojlund has hit just 10 goals in 50 games across all competitions.

Man United sit 16th in the Premier League with one game remaining but face Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday (21 May).
