‘Outrageous’ player knows Manchester United want to sign him, he’s a boyhood fan
Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise has a preference between Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United and Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea.
That is according to Football.London, which has reported United and Chelsea’s stance on Olise.
So, what has been reported about Manchester United, Chelsea and Michael Olise? Let’s take a look.
Michael Olise prefers Manchester United to Chelsea
Well, according to , Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in signing Michael Olise from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024.
The report has claimed that United are keeping a close eye on Olise and are planning to make a bid for the winger in the summer of 2024.
Chelsea are planning to bid for the Frenchman as well. The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners were close to signing Olise in the summer of 2023, but the 22-year-old eventually put pen to paper on a new deal with Palace.
Football.London has claimed that Olise is aware that both United and Chelsea want him. According to the report, the winger would prefer a move to Old Trafford to a transfer to Stamford Bridge.
“Despite being at Chelsea from the age of seven to 14, Olise has always been an avid Man United supporter,” states the report.
“The 22-year-old is aware of interest from the Blues and United and is widely expected to leave Palace at the end of the season.”
Encouraging for Manchester United
In my opinion, Michael Olise preferring a move to Manchester United is very encouraging for the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
United could do with a quality winger like Olise. Jadon Sancho has left Old Trafford on loan for the rest of the season and may not play for manager Erik ten Hag again. Antony has failed to make a huge impact.
Olise is one of the most exciting young players in the Premier League. He was described as by Crystal Palace teammate and central midfielder Will Hughes, as relayed by Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster on his .
The winger has made seven starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Palace this season. He has scored five goals and given one assist in those matches.
