While we are waiting Manchester United to get back into action, here are some of the latest news which caught the attention of many Red Devils, as talks about the upcoming transfer window are heating up.
United Target Crystal Palace’s Olise
Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a move for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise as they seek attacking reinforcements, with *TeamTalk* suggesting the Red Devils have the upper hand over Chelsea in the chase for the 22-year-old. Having grown frustrated with Antony’s lack of impact – the Brazilian has managed just four goals and two assists in the Premier League since joining nearly two years ago – United are ready to explore other options. Olise, who has been a standout performer for Palace this season, has scored six goals and provided three assists in 11 appearances, earning widespread praise despite a challenging campaign for the Eagles. Chelsea nearly snapped up Olise last summer, having agreed to trigger his £35 million release clause. However, the deal fell through, and Palace responded by offering the Frenchman a new contract, increasing his buy-out clause to a reported £60 million.
Despite this, United appear to have the advantage in any potential bidding war, with new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said to be backing the move. Ratcliffe is keen to bring the 20-time English champions back to their former glory, and a signing like Olise could be part of that vision. Whether Chelsea reignite their interest remains to be seen, but United’s growing ambition under Ratcliffe’s leadership might just give them the edge.
Devils Set to Sell Greenwood
In other transfer news, Manchester United are reportedly ready to offload Mason Greenwood permanently this summer, with both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid expressing interest in the forward, according to HITC. Currently on loan at Getafe, Greenwood has impressed in La Liga, netting eight goals and providing five assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. His performances have caught the attention of some of Europe’s top clubs, and while United are monitoring his progress, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has hinted at the possibility of a permanent sale. Although Getafe are keen to retain Greenwood, their only realistic chance would likely be another loan, as they are unlikely to meet United’s valuation for a permanent deal. Both Barcelona and Atletico are already planning for next season and reportedly see Greenwood as one of Europe’s brightest young talents, hoping to secure his signature. Despite his success in Spain, Greenwood’s future at Manchester United seems bleak. Following his controversial past, the club’s fanbase has largely expressed a desire to see him sold, adding another layer of complexity to his potential return. While United may be willing to consider a loan if permanent offers fall short, it appears Greenwood’s time at Old Trafford is nearing an end, with a summer move to Spain looking increasingly likely. The coming months will reveal whether a permanent transfer materialises or if another loan deal is on the cards.
