Manchester United will be missing out on Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap this June. The 22-year-old is reportedly moving closer to join Chelsea. Utd had their sights on Delap due to his £30 million release clause following Ipswich’s relegation. But, the young forward wants his future sorted before the Under-21 Euros in June.
Liam is likely to join the Stamford Bridge club this June. So, the Red Devils are now looking at other striker options to boost their attack. One top name on their radar is Victor Osimhen.
The Napoli star will leave the Serie A side this summer. Osimhen enjoyed an incredible loan spell at Galatasaray, scoring 36 goals and adding on 8 assists from 40 games played.
Another strong shout is Yoane Wissa of Brentford. The 28-year-old stepped up big time this season. He managed in scoring 19 Premier League goals and proving he can lead the line for a top side.
Mateta and David Offer Affordable and Proven Alternatives
Another possibility Utd might look at is Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Frenchman has gone slightly under the radar. But, he is a constant threat in the Premier League. He scored 14 league goals this season, 17 in all competitions. His growth since signing at Selhurst Park has been evident. His size and finishing could be exactly what Utd require.
A final, but equally exciting option is Jonathan David. The Canadian striker is leaving Lille this June. After playing five standout seasons, he scored 109 goals in 232 games. What makes him especially attractive is that he’ll be available on a free transfer. That fits perfectly into Utd’s budget strategy under new boss Ruben Amorim.
With Delap out of the picture, the Red Devils have no shortage of talent to chase. Each of these four options brings experience, goals, and a serious hunger to shine on a bigger stage.
