Ruben Amorim’s rebuild at Manchester United is gaining momentum as the club look to land smart, ambitious signings to rejuvenate their attack this summer.
With Matheus Cunha on the verge of joining from Wolves, United have wasted no time shifting their attention to another forward who has impressed in the Premier League this season.
The Red Devils’ failure to secure Champions League football has complicated negotiations in some quarters, but they remain a highly attractive destination—particularly for younger players seeking a major platform.

Reports suggest United have opened exploratory talks with multiple striker targets in recent weeks, with one name repeatedly mentioned behind the scenes at Carrington.
That name is Liam Delap, whose summer exit from Ipswich Town appears all but certain.
The 22-year-old scored 12 goals for a struggling Ipswich side last season, earning him admirers from across the Premier League.
His £30 million release clause has made him a realistic target for top-flight clubs, and Manchester United are believed to be leading the race for his signature.

However, according to transfer insider Ben Jacobs via X, Liam Delap is only considering moves to clubs that can offer guaranteed first-team football—a stipulation that could benefit United given their need for a new focal point in attack.
Delap is also reportedly keen on a return to the north-west, a factor which further tilts the scales in United’s favour.
The striker’s ambition is to make England’s 2026 World Cup squad under Thomas Tuchel, and regular game time is a non-negotiable if he’s to catch the eye of the national setup.
Despite interest from Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton, Delap’s priority remains development over prestige—a mindset that aligns well with United’s new youth-focused direction.
With United already lining up a double swoop involving Cunha and Wolves defender Nelson Semedo, the potential arrival of Delap would be yet another strategic coup for the Old Trafford hierarchy.
