Michael Olise open to joining Man Utd – Ben Jacobs
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise is open to the possibility of joining manchester united during the next transfer window.
The Red Devils have been linked with the French striker for some time but are yet to make a formal approach. speaking to Givemesport, Jacobs has revealed that Olise was the Glazers' first approved target and remains on co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's radar.
The journalist believes Chelsea He and Man United are expected to clash over his signature at some point and the 22-year-old would be open to joining either club, he said: “It is the first objective approved by the old regime led by the Glazers, John Murtough and others, and the new regime, with Sporting controller Jim Ratcliffe.”
“From day one, when they formally took over the sport in February, Olise was also on their radar. “Chelsea and Manchester United are expected to go head to head for Olise at some point and the feeling is that the player is open to both clubs.”
Extreme quality
Olise had an injury-plagued season with Palace, but still caught the eye with his performances. The right winger scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists in just 19 appearances. In addition to his scoring contributions, the Frenchman was also brilliant with his dribbling and distribution skills in the last 3 metres.
United currently have plenty of options on the right wing, but none have been consistent enough. Antony has not lived up to the high price tag and the same can be said for Jadon Sancho, who is expected to be sold following his loan to Borussia Dortmund. Garnacho showed his potential from the right wing, but he feels more comfortable on the left wing.
Amad Diallo had a run of games towards the end of the campaign, but the hierarchy may want a more established and consistent player in the role. Olise would be a perfect solution, as he is entering the prime of his career and has already become one of the most sought-after wingers in football. first division. United may have to pay his £60m release clause to sign him and they could have an advantage over Chelsea as it stands. supposedly an avid fan of the club.
