No need for Osimhen: Man United are 'favourites' to sign £30m proven PL star in summer

Manchester United are set to make big changes to their squad after a torrid 2024-25 season.

The Red Devils are now locked into recording their lowest-ever Premier League points tally.

According to the Daily Mail, United are now favourites to sign Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.

Signing a marquee centre-forward is a priority for the Red Devils.

Rasmus Hojlund has endured a nightmare season, netting merely three goals in the English top flight.

His once-promising hold-up play has fallen off a cliff, likely a reflection of his growing confidence issues.

Joshua Zirkzee has shown flashes of brilliance, but more as a creative No. 10 than a ruthless finisher.

He is a creative force rather than a clinical striker.

United head coach Ruben Amorim needs a marksman who can score double-digit goals in the league.

Despite Ipswich Town facing a daunting task to stay in the top flight, Delap has impressed with his performances.

The 22-year-old has netted 12 times and recorded two assists in 31 games.United could sign him at a bargain price of £30 million.

Bringing him to Old Trafford won’t be easy as several other clubs are vying for his signature.

Napoli-owned Victor Osimhen is another option for the Red Devils but United may have to pay a premium price of £56m.

Given United’s financial constraints, shelling out more than £50m on a single player seems unlikely this summer.

Apart from signing a striker, they also need to recruit another forward, a wing-back and a midfielder.

It is shaping up to be a busy summer at Old Trafford, with big decisions looming on and off the pitch.
