Liam Delap has been warned against joining Manchester United this summer.

The duo have mustered just seven Premier League goals between them this campaign, with United now searching for a new first-choice striker.

Delap appears to be their man, though both Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville believe a move for the Englishman would be a mistake.



Addressing the striker directly, Carragher urged him to join a club a step below United's standing instead.

“I don’t think Delap should go to Manchester United.

It’s the biggest club in the world, I think it’s such a big step," Carragher told Sky Sports ' Monday Night Football programme.

"I know people will say about league position, but Man United is a monster.

I think that next step - an Everton or something - being the main man where you’re going to play every week, be the best player.

"He’s the best player at Ipswich, go to another club where you’re that for two years then go to that sort of Man United or whoever, Champions League team trying to compete at that sort of level."

Neville meanwhile believes signing Delap would replicate the same mistake United made in buying Hojlund and Zirkzee.

So they’ll have a good understanding of his game and his character - but United is a different animal.”
