33 Manchester United will go through a major overhaul of their squad in the summer transfer window.
After their inconsistent form this season and their poor performances in the Premier League and the Champions League, the Red Devils are set to go through major changes.
Under the leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the Premier League club will be active in the market to make reinforcements to the squad.
One player they are keeping a close eye on is Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has told GiveMeSport that Man United have been informed about the release clause of the player and the conditions of the deal.
Olise has attracted interest from the biggest Premier League clubs after his impressive season for the Eagles.
The French youngster was on the verge of joining Chelsea last summer but his move fell through, with the winger deciding to sign a new contract at the club after that.
It looks like his big move could be just around the corner as clubs have shown interest in him after his 10 goals in 18 Premier League appearances this season.
Romano told GiveMeSport:
“Man Utd want to be there, so United are informed on the release clause and informed on the conditions of the deal.
“So let’s see when they will attack the situation again. The situation will be important to understand what is going to be the plan, because obviously you have to involve the manager if you want to make a proper plan.
Crystal Palace star Michael Olise is being eyed by both Chelsea and Man United.“But at the same time Olise remains a player who is really appreciated at Manchester United, also by people on the scouting team since one year ago.”
To add to his 10 goals, the right-winger has five assists as well, displaying his chance creation abilities along with his goal scoring prowess.
There is no doubt that Man United have keen interest in the player but before making any move for the player, they should be looking to offload some of the exsiting ones.
Their squad is filled with a number of players who are surplus to requirements now at Old Trafford.
Man United are set to undergo a massive clear out
Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial are already set to leave the club this summer while players like Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Sofyan Amrabat and Jonny Evans might follow them soon.
In terms of wide options, the Red Devils have Antony, Amad Diallo and Jadon Sancho.
Before signing another right-winger, they have to get rid of some of the players they already have in order to maintain the balance of the squad.
Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford are the other options for the wide positions but they occupy the left-wing, not where Olise likes to play.
