Manchester United is the favorites to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich this summer, but one pundit has warned about the move because he believes that Ruben Amorim has to bring in experienced campaigners
Darren Bent has doubted whether Liam Delap is able to lead the front line of Manchester United with the former striker who became Pundit instead and urged Old Trafford Chiefs to sign an older statesman this summer.
Doel Shy United is an urgent need for a productive scorer this summer to prevent the shame of a domestic campaign that sees them in the bottom quarter of the table.
And with fire head coach Ruben Amorim, the club still wants to accompany the club Final Glory against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao with the price of a place in the Champions League of next season on the line, there is an urgent need for improvements in attack.
But I think an experienced figure must be the priority to help Rasmus Hojlund develop. The Danish young person has scored only four goals this season – compared to a dozen for Delap with relegated pswich – and is feeling that two relatively inexperienced men would be a mistake.
“You are talking about 16 Premier League goals between them: four for Rasmus and 12 for Liam,” Bent Bent told Talksport.
'Listen, I am a big fan of his [Delap]. Looking at him week in, week out, he has of course improved so much and the confidence he has in his own capacity, the confidence he has to take on everyone. He doesn't care who it is, he will not be exaggerated by anyone.
“What you do not want is to have two young center-forwards. This is his first full season in the Premier League.
“To go from Ipswich, who were in the championship last season, to Manchester United and is expected to lead the line and score the goals …
“It can work. I think he has the confidence in himself to do it, but there will be dips in his form, goal droughts, and that is what you might need that older statesman to learn from.”
Delap, who came to Ipswich from Manchester City last summer, has many admirers at Chelsea among the other Premier League clubs that have a sharp interest.
He is expected to leave Portman Road due to a relegation clause of £ 30 million built into his contract. In that reimbursement, the Tractor Boys will still double their initial investment of £ 15 million in the All Action Center Forward.
