🚨 DECISION MADE 🚨COMING FROM FABRIZIO ROMANO Michael Olise has broken his silence on his move to Manchester United And Chelseait’s the big move he’s been waiting for.
Manchester United’s pursuit of Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise is not ‘universally supported’ by the club’s hierarchy.
The 22-year-old has emerged as United’s main summer target as they seek to strengthen their forward line.
Following Antony’s dismal season, Erik ten Hag now prefers Alejandro Garnacho on that side. However, the adolescent prefers to come from the left.
Amad and Facundo Pellistri have yet to confirm their United quality, making it a troublesome position for the Red Devils.

Discussions over Olise have heated up in recent weeks, and according to ESPN, United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka might be involved in any move.
Wan-Bissaka joins United from Palace for £50 million in 2019 following a succession of outstanding displays at Selhurst Park.
Olise signed a new four-year contract with Palace last summer, rejecting a move to Chelsea.
He is anticipated to be released this summer as the Eagles prepare to restructure their roster.
The France U21 international, who was previously signed by Manchester City, has recently been linked with a move to Liverpool. Chelsea is still intrigued, despite their abundance of options on the right wing.
Some at United do not think Olise is the greatest option. Wan-Bissaka has fallen short of expectations, and Wilfried Zaha has struggled to adjust to a’more demanding’ atmosphere at United.
United is gearing up for a hectic summer. Sir Jim Ratcliffe expects the Premier League to approve his decision to take over the club’s football operations by mid-February.
Ratcliffe agreed to acquire a 25% share in the club late last year.
The INEOS founder spoke with the media following Sunday’s 2-2 tie with Tottenham Hotspur.
“Early to mid-February,” Ratcliffe told reporters when asked when the deal would be confirmed.
“Hope we don’t uncover anything suspicious on my CV!
“This is my first match since we got here. I’m incredibly excited to be here, but I can’t really answer any questions.
