Manchester United is working on the addition of a new center-forward in this transfer market at the request of Michael Carrick. The Red Devils need to bring in a striker to enhance their rotation and compete with Benjamin Sesko, who is poised to be the starting center-forward for the upcoming season.

The sports management of the Old Trafford entity currently has three alternatives on the table to strengthen the offensive reference position: Liam Delap, a 23-year-old attacker from Chelsea, Ollie Watkins, a 30-year-old striker from Aston Villa, and Dusan Vlahovic, a 26-year-old forward who is currently a free agent.

Liam Delap's Option and His Situation at Stamford Bridge

Among the forwards evaluated by Manchester United, Liam Delap emerges as an opportunity after being put on the transfer list in London. The player joined Chelsea in the summer of 2025 from Ipswich Town for a fee of 30 million pounds. However, after scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists in 41 matches, coach Xabi Alonso has informed him that he is not part of the plans for the next season.

The player's representatives have been in contact with the Old Trafford hierarchy and with clubs like Leeds United to find him a new destination. The Red Devils executives are considering his signing as a young alternative for the offensive rotation, especially since Chelsea is likely to facilitate his transfer after securing the arrivals of João Pedro and Danny Welbeck.

Dusan Vlahovic and Ollie Watkins to Compete with Benjamin Sesko

At the same time, the sports department of Manchester United is closely monitoring Dusan Vlahovic, who is a free agent after his contract with Juventus expired last season. As there is no transfer fee involved, the potential arrival of the Serbian international striker presents a financially viable option to compete immediately with Benjamin Sesko.

The third option on the board for the board is Ollie Watkins, a forward from Aston Villa with a solid scoring record in the Premier League. However, the financial demands of the Birmingham-based club are posing challenges to the operation, making it necessary for the Manchester club to determine which of the three options fits best within their budget, considering the potential departure of Joshua Zirkzee to Italy.

The Manchester United management will expedite the evaluation of these three candidates during the first week of August 2026. The Red Devils aim to have a top-level rotation as they are also set to participate in the UEFA Champions League.

The club will decide whether to make a formal offer for Liam Delap, negotiate a signing bonus with Dusan Vlahovic, or engage in discussions with Aston Villa for Ollie Watkins before the start of the English league season.
