Man Utd interested in Michael Olise, already following him
According to the respected journalist Fabrizio Romano, manchester united are one of the clubs interested in signing Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise this summer.
Man United have had a frustrating first division campaign and are currently languishing in eighth place. The club has been vulnerable defensively throughout the season, but its offensive performances have also been unconvincing.
The Red Devils have scored the fewest goals in the top half of the standings and coach Erik ten Hag will want an improvement in the final third when the transfer The window opens again.
Roman He has now revealed that United are among those interested in signing Olise, who has a £60m release clause which will be activated this summer.
He added that the people at INEOS have been following him and are well informed of all the details about the Frenchman, including other clubs' competitions.
“Manchester United remain one of several clubs in the race for Michael Olise, with a release clause of around £60m set to be active this summer.
“The people at INEOS already follow it, they are well informed of all the details but they are also aware of the competition. It is one of the monitored names.”
Higher class
Olise has played just over 1,000 minutes of first-team football this season, having been sidelined with three separate hamstring injuries. Despite this, he has had a consistent performance with 7 goals and 4 assists in the top flight.
The French youth international has been brilliant from the right wing for Palace. He has been fantastic with his quick dribbling and has also worked hard off the ball with his recoveries and his ability to win regular running duels.
The 22-year-old would be an excellent addition for United on the right side of the attack, where they have lacked enough creativity. Alejandro Garnacho has played there regularly this season, but has been more productive on the left.
The same has happened with Mark Rashford while Antony has not lived up to expectations since his departure from Ajax. If United were to release Olise from Palace, it could coincide with Antony's potential departure.
