Liverpool begin talks with £40m-rated striker eyed by Manchester United and Chelsea
Manchester United return to Premier League action when the international break is over
Manchester United are sat in 13th place in the Premier League table after a disappointing season to date. They have nine fixtures left to play before they can look ahead to the next campaign.
The Red Devils won 3-0 away at Leicester City in their last Premier League outing. Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes got their goals against the Foxes at the King Power Stadium as they secured all three points to boost their confidence.
Ruben Amorim’s men are back in action on Tuesday 1st April with a tough trip to the City Ground to play Nottingham Forest. Their upcoming opponents are in the top four and are eyeing a place in Europe.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool have ‘already contacted’ representatives of Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap amid interest from United and Chelsea. The report suggests he is valued at around the £40million mark ahead of the next transfer window.
Delap, 21, joined Manchester City in 2019 after rising up through Derby County’s academy. He was a regular for City’s youth sides before going on to play six times for their first-team under Pep Guardiola.
The England youth international was loaned out to Stoke City and Preston North End to get some experience but struggled to make an impact with the Championship pair. He then linked up with Hull City last term and was a hit with the Tigers in the second tier under their former manager Liam Rosenior as they narrowly missed out on the play-offs.
