Fallen giants Manchester United have reportedly discussed a summer move for a Premier League star to replace the ineffective Antony.

Manchester United are interested in signing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.

Olise, 22, signed a four-year deal in August but might leave Selhurst Park this summer as part of the club's rebuilding plans.

Manchester United plotting move for Olise

According to The Guardian, Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in the Palace winger but Manchester United are willing to including Wan-Bissaka in a deal that could see them jump the queue. 

Palace had sold Wan-Bissaka to United for £50 million in 2019 but 4 unsuccessful years later, he could be used as part of a deal. 

United are desperate to strengthen their misfiring attack, with Olise being a top target due to his good form at Palace, especially with Antony, a recent signing, struggling to impress.
