Man United fans excited by ‘big-money move’ for top Chelsea target
Man United are set to battle Chelsea for one of their top transfer targets in the summer window as the 20-time champions aim to get back on track following a dismal campaign.
United currently sit 15th in the Premier League table in what is proving to be a season to forget for the club, which has seen one manager sacked and off-the-field decisions proving to be unpopular.
One of the big issues for Ruben Amorim’s side has been finding the back of the net, with goals proving hard to come by throughout the campaign.
| Position | Team | Played | GD | Points |
| 15. | Man United | 25 | -7 | 29 |
| 16. | West Ham United | 25 | -18 | 27 |
| 17. | Wolves | 25 | -19 | 19 |
| 18. | Ipswich Town | 25 | -27 | 17 |
| 19. | Leicester City | 25 | -30 | 17 |
| 20. | Southampton | 25 | -38 | 9 |
United have only scored 28 times in the Premier League so far, with only four teams in the entire division having managed fewer goals.
Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have flattered to deceive at Man United and have found life at Old Trafford extremely difficult.
The two men have only managed to score five Premier League goals between them this season, which is why United are now targeting a move for a new striker ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
Man United are targeting a move for Liam Delap
According to The Athletic, Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap is being viewed as a transfer target for the upcoming window following his impressive campaign this season.
The Man City academy graduate has caught the attention of various top Premier League sides following his move to Portman Road where he has showcased his ability to immediately adapt to the English top flight.
The 22-year-old has scored 10 goals and provided two assists this season for Ipswich, thriving despite the overall struggles of the team.
However, Delap isn’t the only striker who the club are considering making a move for as United recently sent scouts to watch Victor Osimhen play.
Liam Delap is being seen as what United need
United supporters have been excited by the transfer link to Delap as they believe the youngster will fit in well at Old Trafford.
Fans have claimed that Delap “is a beast” and is someone who can “meet the physical demands” that the Premier Legue has.
