Forget Delap: Fireworks guaranteed if Man Utd sign phenomenal £51m striker, dream partner for Cunha and Fernandes

Manchester United are gearing up for a blockbuster summer as they aim to rebuild their squad after a nightmare 2024–25 campaign.

They are leading the transfer battle to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matheus Cunha.

The Brazilian maestro has been electric this season, bagging 16 goals and notching four assists.

He looks tailor-made for the left-sided number 10 role in Ruben Amorim’s fluid 3-4-3 system.

With Rasmus Hojlund struggling for consistency, United are desperate to bring in a new attacking spearhead.

The Denmark international looks short of confidence with just three Premier League goals all season.

One name doing the rounds is Liam Delap, who could be a cost-effective coup at just £30 million.

We believe United should prioritise signing Napoli-owned Victor Osimhen over Delap.

The 26-year-old operates as a more traditional number nine who is known for stretching defences.

His explosive runs in behind and clinical finishing would add a ruthless edge to United’s misfiring front-line.

He has bagged a stunning tally of 29 goals this campaign, adding to the 48 he racked up over the previous two campaigns.

Having Osimhen lead the line, alongside the creativity and tenacity of Cunha and Bruno Fernandes, will surely elevate United’s attack.

United have gambled too often on raw potential and it is time to invest in a proven game-changer.

It will be key how the Red Devils arrange funds as they will need to splash around £51m to sign the phenomenal striker.

His hefty wage demands may force the club to cash in on existing players before making a formal approach.
