Michael Olise reportedly prefers a move to Manchester United over Chelsea in transfer saga.

In what could be a significant move in the summer transfer window, Crystal Palace's dynamic winger Michael Olise is reported to have set his sights on a dream transfer to Manchester United, brushing aside interest from Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool. 

This development has set the stage for a potential high-profile switch, adding another layer of intrigue to the upcoming transfer season.

United's Childhood Fan: Olise's Red Devotion

Michael Olise's preference for Manchester United stems from a long-standing admiration for the club. A fan since childhood, Olise's affinity for the Red Devils has evidently influenced his career aspirations. 

Despite his early years in Chelsea's youth academy and a stint at Manchester City's system, Olise's heart seems to be set on Old Trafford.

Impact at Palace: A Season of Promise and Challenge

At just 22, Olise has shown flashes of brilliance at Crystal Palace, despite a season hampered by injuries. In his limited appearances in the Premier League, he has managed to become the team's second top scorer, an impressive feat considering his restricted playing time. 

His potential move could see him leave Selhurst Park, where he's expected to finish the season. His immediate focus remains on contributing to Palace's campaign, with an upcoming match against Sheffield United in the Premier League.
