The 22 -year -old attacker drew significant attention after an impressive season, scoring 12 goals and providing two assists in 32 Premier League appearances, despite the difficulties of Ipswich near the bottom of the table.
A key factor in the pursuit of United is the promise of manager Ruben Amorim to offer the first regular team football.
The former head scout of United, Mick Brown, stressed that Amorim’s insurance of a starting role could be essential to convince Delap to choose Old Trafford rather than other contenders.
“Delap is on many club lists”, “ Brown told Football Insider.
“I’m not sure he will be convinced by the move to Chelsea.
“There have been a lot of discussions on him in Man United, and if you are Delap, you can watch this united team and feel confident, you can make your brand.
“The options they have at the moment are not good enough, so Amorim can promise him that he will get regular minutes as a departure goalkeeper.
“I don’t think he can do the same in Chelsea, Newcastle or one of the other upper sides.
“They have signed many players who cannot enter the team or who have not played enough – Delap does not want to become another of them.
“He needs to go somewhere where he will play, and he knows he will play United.”
