Amid reports that Manchester United are circling a Crystal Palace gem, they’ve been warned they could struggle to complete the deal.
Michael Olise is due to be one of England’s most sought-after players in 2024 and right at the centre of this will be Crystal Palace who stand to gain a lot on the £8m he cost in 2021.
The extremely talented winger has been in immaculate form this campaign – when fit – and lately went on a run of five-goal contributions in just four games.
This has unsurprisingly landed him right onto the shortlist of several big European giants, one of which is Manchester United.
We reported yesterday that United held a ‘definite interest’ in signing Olise but now they’ve been sent a warning.
Manchester United could struggle to sign Michael Olise, says Mikael Silvestre
Speaking with GGRecon, former United man Mikael Silvestre was discussing his awe of Olise.
“I first saw him when he was playing for Reading, so I’ve witnessed him developing in England and with the France under-21 team.
“He’s an exciting player who has the potential to easily attract offers from the top six clubs in the Premier League clubs, but the question is, why would he choose Manchester United right now?”
Silvestre then explained why his fellow Frenchman may be out of reach for United in the upcoming transfer window.
“I’m not convinced that the club is capable of attracting a player like Michael at the moment.”
Olise will have better options on the table
Right now, United are a complete mess from the board to the manager and even half the players are in need of selling. Olise will be smarter than to step into that mess.
But on the other hand, Ineos’ arrival could lead to a complete revolution of the club and squad which Olise could be a major part of.
However, with interest also afoot from Arsenal, it’d be a safer choice to head to the Emirates at this moment in time.
