Manchester United could explore a deal for Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap this summer, according to The Athletic.
The Red Devils have had a tough campaign in the English top-flight and they have netted just 29 goals from 24 games.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to find consistently upfront and the club could look for an upgrade.
The hierarchy prefer a young striker over someone experienced and have set their sights on landing Delap from Ipswich.
However, a deal won't be easy to pull off. Ipswich are expected to demand a premium fee to part ways with their prized assetÂ
The fee could be less if they are relegated, but Manchester City have a major advantage over their rivals in the pursuit.
The Cityzens have a buyback clause worth 40 million pounds on the player's contract and could take up the option to re-sign him.
With Chelsea and United interested, City could prefer to buy him back. They could prefer selling him to a club abroad in future.
