Manchester United plan to sign a new goalkeeper and striker this summer, following disappointing seasons from Andre Onana and Rasmus Højlund.
Amorim made the goalkeeper call early into his tenure. Victor Osimhen, Liam Delap, and Matheus Cunha are among attacking options already being assessed for the rebuild.

Chelsea are leading the race to sign Liam Delap for £30m if Ipswich are relegated, with Manchester United also interested.
Delap is familiar to Maresca and Chelsea’s scouting lead Joe Shields. His Premier League-ready profile and 12-goal season make him a valuable target.

Manchester United have identified Ipswich striker Liam Delap as their top target to fix scoring issues, edging out costlier names like Viktor Gyökeres and Benjamin Sesko. Chelsea are also keen due to Enzo Maresca’s City connection.
Delap, who has 12 goals in 30 Premier League games, could be available for £40m if Ipswich are relegated. Despite City’s £40m buyback clause, they’re unlikely to trigger it, though they would earn 20% of any Ipswich profit.

Ipswich Town insist they are “very well protected” regarding Liam Delap, despite reports Manchester City have a £40m buy-back clause for the striker.
Delap, sold to Ipswich for £20m in 2024, has scored 10 Premier League goals this season. Interest from top clubs is growing, but Ipswich maintain confidence in their contractual position as they battle relegation.
