Manchester United has set their sights on Michael Olise and it appears that the player himself is interested in a move to Old Trafford. This could be a significant boost for INEOS, which is looking to revamp Erik ten Hag’s squad. Olise, a winger for Crystal Palace, is considered a top target by the Red Devils’ new minority shareholders.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of INEOS, has expressed his desire to improve the quality of Manchester United’s first-team squad. As a result, the club is expected to make exciting new signings during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Despite a challenging season marred by ιnjury, Olise has caught the attention of the decision-makers at Old Trafford. INEOS, driven by concerns over Antony’s inconsistent performances on the right wing since his high-profile move from Ajax in 2022, is actively searching for a replacement.

Crystal Palace managed to fend off interest from Chelsea last summer by persuading Olise, who is a French U21 international, to sign a new contract. The deal included an increased release clause rumored to be £60 million. However, Manchester United is reportedly leading the race to lure the 22-year-old away from Selhurst Park.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, who spoke with United Stand, Olise is enthusiastic about joining Manchester United and is believed to be a lifelong fan of the club. However, the Old Trafford hierarchy can expect strong competition for Olise’s signature when the summer transfer window opens.

Chelsea might make another attempt to sign the former Reading star, and several foreign clubs are also interested. Additionally, if Liverpool were to lose Mohamed Salah to Saudi Arabia, they could also enter the picture.

Potential suitors may have concerns about Olise’s ιnjury history. He underwent hamstring surgery last summer and was sidelined for the season’s first three months.
