Mikael Silvestre has urged Manchester United to sign Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise this summer.
Olise has only made 10 Premier League appearances due to injuries, but that has not stopped him from registering goalscoring contributions.
The Palace star has six goals and three assists to his name and he is being heavily linked with a summer move to United or Chelsea, although reports suggest he would prefer a move to Old Trafford over Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea were interested in signing the 22-year-old last summer, but a deal never materialised and Olise ended up signing a new deal at Selhurst Park.
Former United and France defender Mikael Silvestre believes Olise would be a good fit for Erik ten Hag’s side.
“He [Olise] has the potential to play for United. He’s been improving a lot since his days at Reading,” Silvestre told Betting Expert, as quoted by The Metro.
“He plays for the France Under-21s and I think he will progress into the national team as soon as he jumps to a Champions League club.
“He should be on the United target list but I’m not sure he’s targeting a move to United.
“He would bring quality, speed and he’s a good all round player who’s direct. He likes to take on players.
“He needs to work on his end product whether that’s the service or scoring goals.”
