Delap makes final transfer decision as he picks between Chelsea and Man Utd as United aim to buck 60-year trend

Liam Delap would rather join Manchester United than Chelsea, or he would rather join Chelsea than Manchester United. It all depends whether you believe The Sun or… The Sun.

Delap of the gods
Seems a fair assumption that Ipswich’s relegation won’t have too much effect on Liam Delap’s prospects of remaining a Premier League player next season.

Lots of teams need a striker, he’s available for £30m, he’s young, he scored 12 league goals in a terrible team. Someone’s going to buy him, probably. And that someone is Man United or Chelsea, probably.

The Sun are taking no chances, though, and are hedging their bets to make sure they get it right.

The Sun, May 12:

LIAM DELAP reportedly has a ‘preferred club’ out of Manchester United and Chelsea.

United and Chelsea are thought to be the biggest hitters in the race, with both teams seeking firepower.

However, Delap is now said to favour one side over the other. According to talkSPORT, the 22-year-old would prefer to join United.

The Sun, May 13:

CHELSEA are increasingly confident of landing Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap despite interest from Manchester United.

United are in the market for a new centre-forward but Delap, 22, is favouring a link-up with the Blues’ boss Enzo Maresca, his academy coach at Manchester City.
