contract.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Simon Phillips, the 22-year-old has been impressed in the Premier League this season, and despite Manchester United also holding talks, he appears to remain at Chelsea&#8217;s tourist attraction this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Both Chelsea and Mann UTD need new signatures ahead of time this summer, so it makes sense for them both to chase Dellup after a very respectable tally of 12 goals and two assists in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine Delap could be even better with the good players around him, but he should also get better with age and more experience under his belt.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liam_Dellup_is_Chelsea_or_Manchester_United\"><\/span>Liam Dellup is Chelsea or Manchester United?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dellup has to choose his next club carefully, and it&#8217;s not clear whether Chelsea or United are better choices for him now.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, Chelsea is far above the Red Devils at the Premier League table, so this long-term project could be closer to building around talented young players.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bruce oversees a huge turnover for players, despite years being chaotic when he cut and changed managers.<\/p>\n<p>However, United are not at their best either.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, many top players have retreated and improved after leaving at Old Trafford, so Delap is a good place to consider.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_leading_the_race_for_Liam_Dellup\"><\/span>Who is leading the race
