Overview

• Multiple outlets cite the Daily Mail in reporting that Manchester United nearly sealed a £30m move for Liam Delap before he joined Chelsea.
• United instead committed to Benjamin Sesko, with BBC Sport reporting a £74m fee, as part of a summer outlay exceeding £200m on attackers.
• Ruben Amorim’s overhaul included Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to operate behind the striker in a 3-4-2-1 setup.
• Coverage links the uncompleted Delap deal to reduced flexibility for a midfield signing, presented as analysis rather than a club stance.
• Liam Delap has nine Chelsea appearances with one goal and is out with a long-term injury, while Sesko has two goals in his first eight United games.
