“Kieran McKenna Sends Manchester United Fans Wild with Perfect Liam Delap Transfer Update
Manchester United are eager to bolster their attacking options this summer, with Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap emerging as a key target.
Ipswich Town’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed on Saturday following their 3-0 loss to Newcastle United, triggering the £30 million release clause in Delap’s contract. As a result, the young striker will be available for transfer this summer.
United are looking to sign a striker in the upcoming window, and Delap has been identified as a priority.
Having joined Ipswich last summer, he has netted 12 goals in his first full season in the Premier League, contributing to 36.4% of Ipswich’s league goals this season.
His impressive performances have made him a highly sought-after prospect.
According to the Manchester Evening News, United are also aiming to strengthen their attack by targeting Matheus Cunha from Wolves, along with Delap.
With Ipswich’s relegation, Delap’s talent could be better showcased in a more competitive environment, and United supporters are excited by the possibility of him making the move to Old Trafford.
Despite being just 22, Delap’s rapid development and performances this season have generated considerable optimism around his potential.
Ipswich manager and former United coach Kieran McKenna believes the striker has the ability to succeed at the highest level.
Ahead of Ipswich’s defeat to Newcastle, McKenna was asked if Delap could thrive at a top club. He responded: “I believe he can.
Liam has shown his ability in the Premier League with a team that’s been fighting for survival, and I’m confident he can make a significant impact at a top level.”
McKenna also praised Delap’s growth and potential, stating, “He’s happy here, and he’s developing really well. I believe he’ll go on to achieve great things in his career.”
Given McKenna’s glowing endorsement and Ipswich’s relegation, it seems unlikely the club will be able to keep hold of Delap, and interest from bigger clubs is expected to grow.
For United, strengthening their attack must be a priority this summer.
While they’ve often been criticized for overspending on players in the past, Delap at £30 million represents a forward-thinking investment, with his best years still ahead of him.
