Transfer guru confirms Man Utd interest in ex-Super Eagles invitee with release clause of N104b

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Manchester United's interest in former Super Eagles invitee Michael Olise.

The club's minority owners INEOS, are plotting a major shake up in the summer with a good number of players being expected to depart while some are expected to replace them.

One of the players that reportedly will leave Old Trafford is Antony who has struggled to make an impact since his arrival and Olise is being lined up as a replacement for the Brazil international.

The France U21 international is said to be highly rated by the Red Devils minority owner INEOS, who are now in charge of transfer of players at the club.

After rejecting Chelsea's advances last summer, the 22-year-old signed a new deal with the Eagles which has a release clause of £60m (approximately N104 billion in Nigerian currency) inserted into it.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus and PSG have all been reported to be ready to secure his signature but the Red Devils are said to be in the front of clubs queueing for him.

Despite battling with his fitness for most of the season, the English-French-Nigerian-Algerian winger has been in excellent form for Crystal Palace whenever he has been in action.

He is averaging close to a goal involvement per game having scored seven goals and recorded four assists in 16 Premier League games.
