The Ipswich fans' website 'TWTD' claims that both the Tractor Boys and the Tangerines are in a race to secure the services of the 22-year-old.
Lowton established himself as a first-team squad member last season after appearing 32 times for United. His versatility was evident after being played at full-back, centre-back and midfield - he also chipped in with four goals but was sent off once.
'TWTD' claim Blackpool have lodged a £300,000 bid for the youngster, and that Paul Jewell is also interested and is also to show his hand.
