According to Teamtalk, Manchester United is reportedly confident in securing the signing of Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, potentially beating out competition from Chelsea. United views Olise as a key addition to usher in a new era under the ownership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Olise, who predominantly plays as a midfielder but also operates on the right wing, has emerged as a vital player for Crystal Palace and the French youth team. Despite being a transfer target for both Manchester City and Chelsea last summer, Olise has remained with Palace, where he has contributed significantly to the team’s performances.
With six goals and three assists, Olise boasts the second-highest goal involvements for Crystal Palace in the Premier League this season, further highlighting his importance and attracting interest from top clubs like Manchester United.
