Manchester United could be on the verge of making a significant signing in the summer transfer window, with Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap emerging as a top target for the Red Devils.
The news comes after INEOS decided not to pursue the signing of an alternative striker, paving the way for Manchester United to make a move for the highly-rated Delap.
Delap, who has been in exceptional form for Ipswich Town, has caught the eye of several top clubs, including Manchester United, who are keen to strengthen their attacking options in the summer.
The 20-year-old striker has been impressive for Ipswich Town, scoring crucial goals and providing assists for his teammates, and his performances have not gone unnoticed by the top clubs in the Premier League.
Manchester United, in particular, are understood to be keen on signing Delap, who they believe has the potential to be a top-class striker in the Premier League.
The Red Devils have been monitoring Delap's progress closely, and they are impressed with his pace, power, and finishing ability, which they believe would make him a valuable addition to their squad.
While nothing is confirmed yet, it is understood that Manchester United are willing to pay a significant fee to sign Delap, who is valued at around 20 million pounds by Ipswich Town.
However, Manchester United will face competition from other top clubs, who are also interested in signing Delap, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to secure his signature in the summer.
One thing is certain, though - Delap is a talented young striker who has a bright future ahead of him, and whichever club signs him will be getting a top-class player who can make a significant impact in the Premier League.
