Manchester United are confident of beating Chelsea to the signing of Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, according to Teamtalk.
United has identified Olise as the target to kick-start a new era under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Olise is capable of playing as a midfielder but features more in the right wing.
The winger is now one of the key players for Crystal Palace and the French youth team.
He was a transfer target for Premier League champions, Manchester City and Chelsea last summer.
With six and three assists, the player has the second-most goal involvements for Crystal Palace in the Premier League this term.
