Man Utd in talks to sign £60m Michael Olise as Red Devils have lead over Chelsea in race to sign winger from Crystal Palace

Following a rather disappointing season, United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is looking to revamp the dressing room and he is looking to make Olise the statement signing this summer. As per TEAMtalk, the Red Devils are currently in the lead to sign the winger with the sales of Antony and Mason Greenwood looking very likely.

Olise would only be interested in joining United or Chelsea and with the likes of Athletic Club's Nico Williams higher up on Chelsea's list, it seems that Old Trafford could be the most likely destination for the winger.

Olise's current contract with Crystal Palace includes a release clause of £60 million ($76m) and the club are not expected to negotiate with any club for the sale. They believe that Olise is worth his release clause and if any club wants to sign him this summer, they will have to match that figure.

The direction both United and Chelsea head in this summer with regard to their managerial vacancy could be the deciding factor for the winger's future. The Manchester club look set to sack Erik ten Hag in the near future, while Chelsea are already on the hunt for a new manager.
