Manchester United are reportedly looking to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace at the end of the season.
Michael Olise is one of the most exciting attacking prospects in the Premier League right now. And a report from 90min has claimed that INEOS have already approved a move for the Frenchman at the end of the season.
It is no secret that Manchester United need to sign a quality winger. Jadon Sancho has returned to his former club Borussia Dortmund on loan for the remainder of the campaign, and Antony has been quite mediocre with his performances.
Alejandro Garnacho is the only reliable right-sided winger at the club right now, and Manchester United must look to invest in quality wide players. The 22-year-old Crystal Palace star could prove to be a solid long-term investment for them.
Olise is highly rated in the Premier League, and he has already established himself as a key performer for Crystal Palace. He is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. Joining a big club will help him develop further and it could accelerate his development. A move to Manchester United will help him compete for trophies as well.
Michael Olise would improve Manchester United
The Frenchman has the tools to develop into a world class player, and Erik ten Hag could help him fulfil his potential. The Dutch manager did well to nurture several young talents during his time at Ajax, and he could play a key role in the development of Olise as well.
The 22-year-old is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can convince Crystal Palace to accept a reasonable fee for him. The Frenchman will be a future investment for Manchester United, and he could easily justify the outlay in the coming seasons.
Manchester United need to improve their attacking options to compete at a high level. They have struggled to create goalscoring opportunities and find the back of the net consistently this season. Signing a quality winger would be a step in the right direction, and they should look to bring in a versatile goalscorer as well who is capable of operating anywhere across the front three.
