Ruben Amorim discovers three players he must sign to solve Bruno Fernandes problem

Manchester United have been urged to sign Ipswich striker Liam Delap and two midfielders this summer as looks to revamp his squad. United have endured a woeful campaign so far, with the club languishing 14th in the .

Parker, speaking via the home of , said: "I think you've got to be looking at replacing at least two players in midfield. I think you need more energy in there and I like [Manuel] Ugarte and what he does, and I think he will be even more effective with more energy and legs around him.

"I don't think Casemiro and [Christian] Eriksen are the right players for United at this time. Casemiro will play on Thursday, but he gets slaughtered when United lose because people say his legs have gone, but he never had legs and was just very clever in how he played.

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna was recently quizzed on Delap's future and claimed it is "certainly a possibility" that the club could keep hold of him in the Championship. "It's not something that's been discussed loads internally at because everyone's focus, honestly, has been on , on , now on Chelsea," McKenna said.

"But if you ask me, is that a possibility? I think it's certainly a possibility. Liam's a young striker. He's developing really, really well at the football club. He's happy and he's improving every week and we're enjoying working with him.

"I'm sure there's lots of different possibilities. But Liam's an Ipswich player. He enjoys being an Ipswich player and that's where his full focus is."
