Liam Delap warned against 'monster' Man Utd move despite being considered upgrade on Rasmus Hojlund as Jamie Carragher names surprise pick for Ipswich striker's next destination

<p>United are considered one of the top contenders to sign Delap, who has scored 12 goals for relegated Ipswich in the Premier League this season, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ipswich-give-liam-delap-permission-transfer-talks-with-man-utd-ruben-amorim-new-striker-signing-matheus-cunha-deal/bltac4ea85bceeea99d" target="_blank">the Red Devils being given permission to negotiate a deal with the 22-year-old</a>. Chelsea are also said to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-chelsea-confident-%C2%A330m-liam-delap-transfer-blues-ipswich-striker-enzo-maresca/blt93b3e7d7b8960adb" target="_blank">lining up an attempt to buy him</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Delap has netted more Premier League goals than any United player this season and ex-Liverpool defender Carragher believes he would be an upgrade on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/roy-keane-verdict-rasmus-hojlund-striker-misfires-again-for-man-utd-against-chelsea/blt8bf7fca546256513" target="_blank">struggling striker Rasmus Hojlund</a>. However, he feels moving to Old Trafford would be too big of a step for the young forward, naming Everton as a more reasonable destination.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He said on <a href="https://x.com/SkySportsPL/status/1924590766870962301" target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a>: "I don’t think Delap should go to Man United. What happened to [Rasmus] Hojlund, sometimes when you’re going from a team who have been relegated - I know Man United are 16th, but they are one of the biggest teams in the world, with the eyes and ears on them. I think that’s such a big step. I know people might say it’s not in terms of league position, but Man United are a monster. </p><p>"I do [think he’s an upgrade on Hojlund], but I almost think that next step should be Everton or something. You know you’re going to play every week, you’re going to be the main man, you’re going to feel like one of the best players in the team. He’s the best player in the team at Ipswich, everything goes through him, so go to another club where you’re that for two years, then go to Man United or wherever. A team playing in the Champions League or trying to compete at that sort of level."</p>

WHAT CARRAGHER SAID

<p>Delap will be looking to end the season on a high when his side face West Ham in their last Premier League game. He will then have to consider his options as he hopes to stay in the English top-flight for next term.</p>
