Manchester United are making intense bids during the summer transfer window as they look to inject some bite into their attacking options. There are claims that the Red Devils have made direct negotiations with Ipswich Town's rising star striker Liam Delap, which is a big hint that they want to bring the 21-year-old to Old Trafford. Moreover, high-level negotiations are already underway with Wolves striker Matheus Cunha, as United look to bring some proven Premier League quality to their strike force.
Liam Delap Hints at Transfer to Old Trafford
Sources familiar with the transfer report that Manchester United are prepared to shell out £30 million for Liam Delap, who took the Ipswich Town show by storm while he was there on loan from Manchester City. The striker scored key goals and showed maturity for a player so young, landing him one of the most sought-after young players in English football.
What adds to the excitement for United fans is the fact that Delap is said to prefer a switch to Old Trafford, which he considers a great step up in his career. The Red Devils need to get a long-term solution in the forward line, and Delap could be the perfect man for the job. Manchester United's new focus on youth and potential talent, a move for Delap is proof of the new transfer policy at the club.

Matheus Cunha Deal Goes On, Release Clause on the Cards
Aside from Delap, United are also fighting to sign Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. The 25-year-old Brazilian had a stunning season at Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring goals and showing flair that caught the attention of other big clubs. Manchester United is reported to have effectively agreed personal terms with Cunha, which means there is agreement on both sides about the transfer.
But the club has yet to trigger Cunha's £62.5 million release clause, the final hurdle to securing the transfer. The hold-up might be tactical as Manchester United consider their overall summer spend but insiders suggest the club are convinced that the transfer can be secured, either by triggering the clause or thrashing out a structured transfer from Wolves.

Strategic Reinforcements Ahead of New Season
Both transfers are part of Manchester United's wider strategy to reshape their attacking options after a season of inconsistency in front of goal. Erik ten Hag is keen to bring more depth, dynamism, and clinical cutting edge to the final third.
If the two signings were to be done, United would be acquiring a combination of youth talent and Premier League quality — Liam Delap offering raw talent and potential, and Matheus Cunha offering flair, versatility, and Premier League know-how.
Final Thoughts
With direct negotiations ongoing and advanced talks on the go, Manchester United's hunt for Liam Delap and Matheus Cunha may frame their summer transfer. The eagerness of Delap for the transfer and Cunha's willingness to make the move bring hope for success. While the fans expect the official announcement, these updates indicate a determined intent from Old Trafford to compete at the top level again.
