Man United are showing serious interest in one Chelsea star. The Blues can sell the player for a right price. The player has interest from Aston Villa and 2 European giants as well.
Manchester United are prepared for a big summer transfer window. They will make multiple changes in their squad after a very tough current season. As of now, they have striker as top priority. They are ready to sell both Hojlund and Zirkzee in order to raise funds.
United wanted to sign Liam Delap and were working very hard. But, the 22 year old opted to join Chelsea. The Blues paid £30 million and have made Delap their new number nine. Having lost Delap, United are now showing interest in another Chelsea striker instead.

The star in question here is Nicolas Jackson. According to Simon Phillips, United are showing serious interest in Jackson. Chelsea have not made Jackson available in the market and the player has also not asked for move. But, the Blues can still sell him for right offer.
Phillips added that Jackson is also viewed as target by Aston Villa. Unai Emery is keen to add another striker due to Jhon Duran leaving in January. Lastly, Jackson is also looked upon by Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.
Jackson is 23 years old and has been with Chelsea since summer 2023. He scored 17 goals in his first season and 13 in the latest season. But, this is far below the expectations the West London Club had from him. Hence, he can be sacrificed by the Blues.
Liam Delap is expected to start over Jackson next season. In addition, Chelsea are strong candidates to sign Hugo Ekitike as well. This will decrease the game time of Jackson even further. At the same time, it fuels the rumours of 23 year old getting sold this summer.
