According to the renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United I have been keeping a close eye on Crystal Palace striker Eberechi Eze and I value his qualities.
The Red Devils were linked with multiple strikers during the summer. transfer window, but they only made one addition to the forward line in the form of Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee.
In his Daily report, Roman He has now revealed that Eze is a player that United have been monitoring because they value his ability. The club are monitoring a number of wingers and there is a real chance that they could invest in a new signing.

During the summer, Michael Olise received a lot of attention. He was linked to many… Premier League clubs including United, but Bayern Munich eventually activated his release clause.
Compared to Olise, Eze did not attract any high-profile transfer interest despite an equally impressive 2023/24 season. He registered 11 goals and 6 assists in just over 2,200 minutes.
His release clause is worth £68 million He will also be active next summer. Palace are willing to accept £60m as a fixed payment and the remaining £8m in performance-related bonuses.
Eze would be a fantastic signing for any Premier League team. He has the ability to play on the left wing, in attacking midfield or in central midfield. He has been consistent in all positions.
The Englishman has started to improve his goal contribution of late. Last season he was involved in 17 goals and assists. If he can take that figure to 25 this season, he will undoubtedly attract big transfer offers.
United could be tempted to make a move for him, but much could depend on whether they can offload Antony. If the Brazilian is sold permanently, they could make a very expensive move for Eze.
The Red Devils could see him as strong competition for Marcus Rashford on the left wing with Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo competing for a starting place on the right side of United's attack.
