As MU prepares to end the worst Premier League season in history, fans have expected the board of directors to bring in big contracts to revive the team, in which Victor Osimhen is considered the top name.
However, reliable reporter David Ornstein has just revealed shocking information, that Osimhen is not in the transfer plan of the "Red Devils".
According to Ornstein, although Osimhen is a prominent name on the market, Manchester United are not interested in the Nigerian striker. Instead, the top priority of coach Ruben Amorim and the board is Liam Delap, a young striker playing for Ipswich Town.

Speaking on NBC Sports Soccer, Ornstein said: “As a striker, Ipswich Town’s Delap is United’s number one target. He has a £30m release clause if Ipswich are relegated, which is almost certain to happen.” In addition to Man United, Chelsea are also said to be closely monitoring the youngster.
Delap, a product of Manchester City’s academy, has scored 12 goals in 31 appearances for Ipswich this season. Despite his young age, the striker is considered one of the most promising strikers in England and could be recruited ahead of the European Under-21 Championship.
Also according to Ornstein, if the Delap deal goes through, Manchester City will receive £6m profit from the 20% sell-on clause they inserted into the contract when selling him to Ipswich for £20m.
Wolves' Matheus Cunha remains on United's watch list, although the player himself recently dismissed the speculation in an Instagram post, claiming: "Too much noise."
