Former Tottenham Hotspur star, Darren Bent, has warned Manchester United against signing Ipswich Town striker, Liam Delap.
He said the young attacker was not going to solve the Red Devils’ goal-scoring issues.
According to him, the youngster was not ready to handle the pressure at Old Trafford.
Delap has had just one season in the English top-flight and could boast of 12 goals and two assists in the top flight.
The player has a £30 million clause in his contract following his club’s relegation from the Premier League back to the Championship.
Manchester United, Chelsea, West Ham, Aston Villa, Everton and Arsenal are among clubs said to be interested in his signature this summer.
However, Bent wants Delap to instead join West Ham United and prove himself at the Hammers.
“You’re talking about 16 Premier League goals between them, four for Rasmus and 12 for Liam. Listen, I’m a big fan of his. I’ve watched him week in, week out, of course he’s improved so much.
“To go from Ipswich Town, who were in the Championship last season, to Manchester United, and be expected to lead the line and score the goals.
“Listen, it might work, I think he’s got the confidence in himself to be able to do it, but you’re right, there’s going to be dips in his form.”;;
