Man United Push Ahead in Race for Delap
Manchester United are now odds-on to sign Ipswich Town forward Liam Delap this week with bookmakers putting them at 4/5 in the latest market to make the transfer happen.
According to reports from ESPN this week, Manchester United have agreed the framework of a £30 million deal with Ipswich to sign Liam Delap, who impressed in the Premier League this season.
The clause matches Delap’s release fee, meaning the decision now rests with the 22-year-old forward whether to join United’s rebuild under Ruben Amorim or play elsewhere next season.
Bet365's latest market now puts United at 4/5 ahead of Chelsea with the forward now out to 18/1 to stay at Ipswich in the Championship after they were relegated.
| Liam Delap Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester United | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Chelsea | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Everton | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Newcastle | 10/1 | 9.1% |
What the expert says...
Amorim Rebuild Begins with Attacking Reinforcements
After a disastrous 2024/25 campaign saw United finish 15th, their lowest Premier League finish since its inception, Ruben Amorim is wasting no time in reshaping the squad.
Delap, who scored 12 Premier League goals this season, fits the profile of a pressing, dynamic centre-forward, and Amorim reportedly views him as a key figure in the next phase of United's rebuild.
Chelsea have also been in the running for Delap and now have a 33.3% implied probability of making the transfer happen sitting just behind United in the market.
