Michael Olise: Crystal Palace’s Rising Star Draws Manchester United’s Interest
Michael Olise has become a standout performer in the Premier League, delivering another remarkable season for Crystal Palace. Despite missing half of the league campaign due to a hamstring injury, the 22-year-old Englishman managed to score 10 goals and provide six assists in the 2023/24 season. This impressive feat surpasses his previous season’s tally of 13 goal contributions.
Last year, Olise was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City and even caught the attention of Liverpool, as reported by Metro. However, it now appears that Manchester United is leading the race to secure the right-sided forward, according to the reliable Jacque Talbot of Football Transfers.
Under the guidance of new manager Oliver Glasner, who notably led Palace to a 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, Olise has enjoyed a strong end to the season. He contributed seven goal involvements in the final six games, showcasing his potential and form.
With Olise’s long-term contract set to run until 2027, Crystal Palace is expected to demand a significant transfer fee for their star player in the upcoming transfer window. The key question remains whether Manchester United, under new Ineos leadership, is the ideal destination for Olise’s career development.
Given United’s recent history with big-money signings, there are concerns about whether this move would truly benefit Olise’s growth. For now, the debate continues, but one thing is certain: Olise’s talent has made him one of the most sought-after young players in the Premier League.
