Manchester United remain interested in signing Crystal Palace striker Jean Philippe Mateta if they are unable to win the race for Liam Delap
Manchester United are reportedly plotting a double swoop for one of the Premier League’s top strikers alongside Southampton’s rising star Liam Delap, as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his attacking options.
Key Details:
Top Premier League Striker Targeted – United are believed to be monitoring a prolific forward, with names like Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), or Alexander Isak (Newcastle) linked.
Liam Delap Also on Radar – The 21-year-old Southampton striker, on loan from Manchester City, has impressed in the Championship (12 goals this season) and could be a long-term project.
Summer Overhaul Expected – With Anthony Martial likely leaving and uncertainty over Rasmus Højlund’s backup, United are prioritizing a proven scorer and a young talent.
Why It Matters:
Goalscoring Issues – United have struggled for consistent firepower this season, making a top-tier striker essential.
Delap’s Potential – Son of former Stoke & City midfielder Rory Delap, Liam offers physicality and finishing ability.
