Manchester United Reportedly Reject Chance to Re-Sign Chelsea Striker Liam Delap — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Manchester United have reportedly declined the chance to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap this summer after being approached by his representatives. Delap is expected to leave Chelsea following a difficult first season, in which he scored two goals in 41 appearances. Chelsea are said to value the 23-year-old at about £35 million. United previously pursued Delap before his move to Chelsea, but are not expected to join the race now. Everton, Newcastle United and Leeds United are reportedly monitoring the striker, with Everton leading the chase. United are still believed to be looking for a striker and a left-back, while Joshua Zirkzee could leave before the transfer window closes.

Would Delap benefit more from a fresh start, or does two goals in 41 appearances make clubs understandably cautious?

Fair point. A new environment could help, but that record will naturally make any club think carefully before committing.

United declining the approach suggests they are not willing to gamble on a striker coming off such a difficult Chelsea season.

Still, judging a forward only by goals can be harsh; the report does not tell us how Chelsea used him or what chances he received.

For Delap, the sensible move may be a club where regular minutes are realistic, rather than another high-pressure switch immediately.
