Man Utd set to be snubbed by Jean-Philippe Mateta as Red Devils continue search for alternatives to 'top target' Liam Delap

The Frenchman is inclined to stay at Palace, though, as they prepare for their first-ever European campaign.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Delap had been the main target for United, with technical director Jason Wilcox disappointed to miss out on the player having held a relationship with him from the Manchester City academy. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liam-delap-personal-terms-chelsea-30m-transfer-ipswich-six-year-contract/blte508ea5f1aff81f7" target="_blank">The England Under-21 international is set to sign for Chelsea instead</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United have also been offered PSG forward Goncalo Ramos. The 23-year-old fits the age profile the club are after and the report states it could be a deal worth keeping an eye on as the summer progresses.</p>
