Manchester United's interest in 22-year-old striker Liam Delap continues, having also had him on their shortlist last summer. According to The Independent, United still consider Delap suitable for their team, and the same report claims there is speculation as to whether the player regrets his move to Chelsea. Should Delap become available, it is believed Chelsea would likely demand a higher fee than the release clause they paid, and any potential move would probably be dependent on other movements within their attack.
