Victory in the competition would grant access to next season's Champions League and the riches - in the region of at least £80million - granted to participants of European football's premier competition. According to ESPN, the Red Devils will step up their interest in the sought-after teenager, who has attracted interest from a number of top clubs this season, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. The 19-year-old has featured 33 times for the Premier League's bottom side, whose return to the Championship has already been confirmed, netting four times. Reports last month indicated that the Saints had slapped a monster £100m price tag on the youngster, however, according the outlet, that valuation is unlikely, especially after Southampton's relegation. Nevertheless, United interest will depend on if they see a financial boost on account of qualifying for the Champions League.

Mail Sport revealed earlier this month that United were ready to trigger Delap’s release clause of around £40million if Ipswich are relegated from the Premier League. It’s understood that the 22-year-old is their firm favourite ahead of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and other potential targets such as Victor Gyokeres, of Sporting Lisbon, and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike. Meanwhile, United kept alive their hopes of European glory with a scarcely believable 5-4 comeback win over Lyon on Thursday night. The rip-roaring night of action in Manchester began with goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot which gave the hosts a 2-0 aggregate lead following a draw in the first leg. Lyon then staged a superb fightback of their own in the second half to force extra time, drawing level through goals from Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico. The French side completed the turnaround despite being reduced to 10-men, with Rayan Cherki and an Alexander Lacazette penalty putting the visitors on course for the last four. Then came the astonishing climax to the tie that saw Fernandes, Mainoo and Maguire score as United roared back to win 5-4 on the night and 7-6 on aggregate. ‘4-2 with one more player and you think it's over, ’ Amorim said post match. ‘But here, it's never over. I was watching again the ‘99 documentary for inspiration for these moments, it was a great night. ’
