Manchester United are ‘leading the race’ to sign Michael Olise this summer.
Michael Olise Crystal PalaceAccording to ESPN, Manchester United are the frontrunners to recruit Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise this summer.
Antony has struggled to perform at his best since joining the club in 2022, while Jadon Sancho is expected to leave after falling out with Erik ten Hag. Alejandro Garnacho has been playing on the right wing this season, but he prefers the other side. So, after struggling with their right-wing position, Manchester United appear to have chosen to reinforce it this summer.
According to ESPN, Manchester United have identified Olise as a ‘priority target’ and are ‘at the head of the queue’ to sign him.
According to the report, Olise’s current deal includes a release clause of roughly £50-60 million, so the Red Devils will have to pay a significant fee to bring him to Old Trafford.
According to ESPN, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal have all indicated interest in signing Olise, but Manchester United is now ‘leading the race’, despite the fact that they will be unable to provide him Champions League play next season.
Olise to Manchester UnitedOlise, who stands 6ft 1in tall, is speedy and technically competent, capable of playing threading passes between the lines, dribbling past opposing defenders in tight spaces, delivering fantastic crosses from wide areas, and finishing his chances efficiently.
The Frenchman is a tremendously skilled player who has shown glimpses of his abilities in the Premier League recently. So, if the Red Devils get him, he would be an excellent addition to their front line.
However, Olise has recently struggled with hamstring difficulties, so Manchester United should exercise caution before making a move for him.
Nonetheless, it would be intriguing to watch whether the record Premier League champions decide to buy him in the forthcoming transfer season to improve their striking department.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will face Crystal Palace on Monday night in their next Premier League match, and Olise will be eagerly watched.
