Much fancied Premier League striker wanted at Man United; one thing could see him within range | OneFootball

There’s no doubt that Ruben Amorim needs a striker at Man United who is a virtual guarantee of goals, and Liam Delap could move within range at season’s end.

Talks are supposedly planned with Victor Osimhen, though it’s a fair bet that Chelsea will reignite their long-term interest in the player given their own struggles in front of goal this season.

Jamie Vardy has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but bringing in a 38-year-old wouldn’t fit in with Amorim’s evident need for young and hungry strikers.

Were the Red Devils poor form continue until the end of the campaign, there’s a cogent argument that the board of the club could dispense with Amorim’s services.

That said, it would only start the wheel turning again. Surely their purpose is better served by giving a manager a couple of years at the very least to turn things around.

Three to four transfer windows within which to bring in players he wants, rather than having to make do and mend with a previous regime’s signings.

One player who could well come onto United’s radar in the summer is Ipswich Town’s brilliant Liam Delap.

McKenna connection might sway Liam Delap

The outlet also note that Man United’s technical director, Jason Wilcox, has a history of sorts with Delap as both were at Man City at the same time previously.

Though Ipswich manager, Kieran McKenna, would be less than delighted to see Delap move on too, seeing him end up at his own former club might soften the blow a little.
