Man Utd confident of beating Chelsea in Michael Olise deal

According team talk, manchester united They are sure they have the advantage Chelsea in the race to sign Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise this summer.

Olise has had an injury-plagued campaign with Palace but has been in impressive form. Man United is one of his main admirers along with Chelsea, but team talk They affirm that the Red Devils are confident of getting him ahead of the Blues.

There are currently rumors that the club is going in a very positive direction under co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the 22-year-old wants to be part of that. Olise currently has a release clause worth £60m in his Palace contract.

Extreme quality

Olise has played just 755 minutes of first team football this season, but has still recorded 6 goals and 3 assists. The 22-year-old has missed most of the campaign due to multiple hamstring injuries, but he could have an important role to play for the south London side over recent weeks.

Despite his injury problems, United and Chelsea remain interested in signing him. Chelsea activated a lower release clause in his contract last summer, but Olise was more than happy to stay at Palace while increasing the value of the clause. This suggests that he was not completely convinced about moving to Stamford Bridge.

With big things anticipated under Ratcliffe at United, Olise could be set to make the move to Old Trafford. Olise would be a guaranteed starter on the right wing, where Antony has been a big disappointment. He has not scored or assisted in the English top flight this season.

Alejandro Garnacho has managed to play ahead of the Brazilian since early 2024, but the club graduate remains a raw talent and needs to improve his finishing. Olise could become a mainstay on the right flank if he can stay fit. His ability to dribble, create opportunities and score goals would set him apart. He is also a great worker without the ball and likes to win duels and put pressure on opposing defenders.
