- Man United and Arsenal both eye Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, despite his new long-term deal.
- Ipswich’s Liam Delap emerges as United’s top summer striker target.
- Garnacho drops potential summer exit hint; Amorim eyes strategic reinforcements.
Manchester United have intensified their interest in Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. They are joining Arsenal in what’s shaping up to be a summer transfer battle.
Meanwhile, United’s recruitment team appears focused on securing a more cost-effective option in Ipswich striker Liam Delap. At 22, Delap has netted 12 goals in 30 Premier League appearances. He could be available for around £40 million if Ipswich are relegated.
United Shake Up Striker Plans with Delap Priority, Arsenal Rivalry Over Cunha Heats Up
Matheus Cunha remains a wanted man. Arsenal are no longer alone in the chase. Manchester United’s sudden entry adds intensity to a deal that’s already complicated by the player’s long-term Wolves contract. Additionally, there is a hefty release clause. Cunha’s performances this season have made him a hot commodity. Clubs view his situation as a prime opportunity to invest in a forward hitting his peak.
Though Cunha is the flashier name, United’s growing interest in Liam Delap signals a shift in transfer strategy. Delap’s physical presence, movement, and finishing have caught the eye of Ruben Amorim. He reportedly sees the youngster as an ideal fit for his playing style. With financial backing promised, the club appears ready to bet big on potential over established stardom.
Delap’s price tag, around £40 million, makes him a more affordable investment. This is in comparison to the £62.5 million it would take to trigger Cunha’s clause. United also likely view Delap as more moldable, a player who could grow within a long-term project. This is rather than demand immediate returns and big wages.
Garnacho’s recent cryptic post on social media has added fuel to speculation about possible changes in United’s attacking lineup. Though it remains unclear if he’s pushing for a move or simply teasing fans, the timing aligns with a larger overhaul. This overhaul is anticipated under Amorim’s leadership. With Delap and possibly Cunha incoming, exits could be part of the plan.
Manchester United’s summer rebuild looks set to include bold moves up front. They have a clear focus on both proven quality like Cunha and emerging potential in Delap. The striker shake-up is officially on.
