According to reports, Manchester United joined the race to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich.
The striker has been a revelation in his debut Premier League season and scored nine goals for the Tractor Boys.
And his performances attract attention with a number of clubs to sign him.
Delap is now subject to United's interest, according to athletics.
Ruben Amorim is supposed to want a striker with a presence and the aggressive running of Liam Delap fits the mold.
Ipswich would probably require a huge reimbursement to let him go, but their asking price would probably lower if they were relegated.
United should defend Chelsea's interest in landing the 22-year-old, while Manchester City has a 40 million back-buying clause in the deal that saw him leaving Etihad for £ 20 million last summer.
The Red Devils can be well placed to beat their rivals to beat thanks to technical director Jason Wilcox, who brought him from Derby to Man City in 2019.
United has various attacking options in mind with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee who struggle for goals.
Scouts have followed Prem duo Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
While Lille striker Jonathan David is also on their radar.
United could finance a movement by cashing in one of their own talents at home, Alejandro Garnacho or Kobbie Mainoo.
