33 Manchester United are expected to be busy in the transfer window this summer.
They are targeting a number of players to add to their squad with a striker, a winger and a defender their priority.
One of their transfer target is Crystal Palace winger Michae Olise, who according to journalist Ben Jacobs is very keen to join the club.
Jacobs told GiveMeSport that the 22-year-old wants to join the Red Devils after being made their top target.
In only 19 matches last season, he scored 10 goals and provided six assists for the Eagles and his performances under manager Oliver Glasner have impressed several clubs.
The journalist names Olise as Man United’s priority target ahead of what is expected to be a busy summer for the club.
Jacobs told GiveMeSport:
“It’s quite a fluid situation for Manchester United, because they don’t really know where to attack first until the outgoings present themselves in full and that will define the budget.
“But in an ideal world, regardless of budgetary concerns, and having to wait for outgoings, Michael Olise is a priority target for Manchester United and, by all accounts, he would be very keen on joining as well.
“So there is serious and credible interest there. And he’s the target endorsed if you like by the old regime, and this new INEOS-led regime who now control the sporting side of things.”
Michael Olise to Man United?
The right-wing position has been a huge cause of concern for the club this season.
Antony has failed to perform for the Red Devils since his big money move from Ajax while Amad Diallo has struggled to cement his place in the starting line up.
Man United attack needs a major overhaul and in order to do that, the Red Devils will need to sell players first.
Man United will be busy in the transfer window
The future of Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho needs to be sorted permanently as Man United would be required to raise funds from sales this summer.
As per a report from The Sun, the Red Devils have a budget of just £35million this summer and they would need to sell players in order to raise their budget.
Man United have managed to cut down on their wage bill with the departure of Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial.
More outgoings are expected soon in order to clear the deadwood from the squad.
