Olise suffered an injury that interrupted the 2023/24 season with Palace. He suffered a hamstring injury during the preseason before suffering similar recurrences during the season. As a result, he missed more than 50% of Palace's matches.
Despite this, the right winger made a huge impact on the club's Premier League season with 10 goals and 6 assists in 19 games. He won an impressive 5.7 duels per game while completing more than 2 shots.
The 22-year-old has all the attributes to succeed at United, where he could be a sure starter on the right wing. Antony and Jadon Sancho (on loan) have not lived up to expectations since their big money transfers.
