Ruben Amorim finalises four-man transfer wishlist ahead of huge Man Utd overhaul

Ruben Amorim will set out on transforming Manchester United’s squad over the coming months and a new striker is among their priorities for the summer transfer window

Manchester United have placed Ipswich hotshot Liam Delap at the top of their striker wishlist ahead of the summer transfer window. Ruben Amorim will put his fingerprints firmly on the Red Devils’ squad over the course of the next few months, with United set for a bottom-half Premier League finish.

Amorim was backed with two signings in January; £25million left-back Patrick Dorgu and teenage centre-back Ayden Heaven. But more significant moves are expected this summer, with a new striker among the Portuguese boss’ priorities.

Former Manchester City prospect Delap is understood to be United’s No.1 target, with Ipswich on course to be relegated from the Premier League. Their demise will reportedly activate a £40m release clause in the 22-year-old’s contract which the Red Devils have held internal discussions about triggering.

United aren’t the only club in for Delap, though, with Arsenal and Chelsea both linked with his services as well as City. Should Amorim and Co. miss out, they have three alternatives.
