Ipswich Town striker Delap as emerged as Amorim’s top goal for the striker position following his breakout season within the Premier League.

Manchester United will not be the one Premier League club all for signing Delap, nonetheless, with Chelsea and Arsenal also linked with moves for a player who will be signed for just £30m at the tip of the season.
United are also working on a deal to bring Brazilian playmaker Cunha to Old Trafford.
Cunha signed a brand new contract with Wolves in January but did so within the knowledge he can be sold this summer if his £62.5m buy-out clause was met.

The club are planning to sell Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony – all currently out on loan – and are also able to money in on Alejandro Garnacho, in line with talkSPORT.
Rashford knows he doesn’t have a future at United while Amorim is in charge and is keen to maintain on playing Champions League football next season following his loan spell at Aston Villa.
Villa have an choice to sign Rashford permanently for £40m and in the event that they resolve against a deal, numerous European clubs are keen to secure the England forward’s signature.
Despite an inconsistent season at Stamford Bridge, Sancho looks set to earn a everlasting transfer to Chelsea, having been frozen out by Amorim’s predecessor Ten Hag.
Antony may even be moved on in the summertime and Real Betis are hoping to maintain him on the club following his upturn in form in Spain.
Paul Scholes expects Garnacho, Mainoo to be sold
‘I get the impression, and I might be incorrect, but I feel they may sell the 2 young players. I feel they may sell Mainoo and Garnacho.
‘Perhaps they sell them this summer. The Mainoo one would hurt. They each would. Garnacho got here later but Mainoo has been on the club since he was a child.
‘He had an excellent season last 12 months and it makes the academy system look bad if a player like him can’t make it they usually must sell him.
‘I hope I’m incorrect, I hope they don’t try this, however the noises I hear, it’s a giant concern.’
Speaking on Premier League Productions
Garnacho, meanwhile, has cut a frustrated figure for much of this season and was linked with a move away from Manchester United in January.
It’s claimed United are once more ‘open to offers’ for Garnacho, who himself is resigned to the concept a move could the truth is be helpful to all parties.
Chelsea expressed interest in a surprise deal for Garnacho earlier this 12 months, while Atletico Madrid and Napoli are said to be monitoring his situation ahead of the summer.
Rio Ferdinand, the Manchester United legend, can be disenchanted to see Argentina international Garnacho leave the club.
‘When there’s space to run into, Alejandro Garnacho could be a real devastating threat,’ he recently told TNT Sports.
‘Yes, he must work on that end product but he’s still a young and improving player so that may come. Persist with him. I consider Manchester United should stick to him.’
In addition to bolstering his attacking options, Amorim can also be keen to welcome a brand new goalkeeper to Old Trafford and admires his compatriot Diogo Costa.
