Under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, changes at Manchester United already appear inevitable. According to sources, the Premier League team is willing to let go of a £50 million signing in a trade transaction.
According to reports, Manchester United is prepared to trade Aaron Wan-Bissaka to get Michael Olise in a trade.
According to ESPN, the Premier League’s biggest clubs are already in talks for a summer transfer that would see the 22-year-old winger join Manchester United and the right-back return to Crystal Palace.
With the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his £1.4billion investment for 25% of the club, the Red Devils look to start the summer off in quick fashion with Wan-Bissaka potentially set for a reunion with the South London club – five years after leaving them in a £50million deal.
Reports add that United have identified the winger as one of their key targets in the upcoming transfer window who would proved much-needed quality to a faltering attack at Old Trafford this season.
Olise has netted five goals in nine league games this season – which is more goals than he managed in 63 league games prior to the current campaign – in what has been a difficult season at Palace.
Given that he signed a new contract with the Eagles last August through 2027 in the face of interest from Manchester City and Chelsea, the France U21 star will fetch a huge price. Despite his apparent talent, ESPN went on to say that Wan-Bissaka’s difficulties since joining United had made support for Olise’s move within Old Trafford less widespread.
Olise’s deal might make Antony unnecessary because both players would be playing right wings. The Brazilian, who paid £86 million to move from Ajax in 2022, has been a massive letdown. After 22 appearances across all competitions this season, he still hasn’t scored or assisted.
Despite making 177 appearances for the team since signing, Wan-Bissaka has struggled to establish a consistent position at right-back because of competition from Portugal international Diogo Dalot. United recently exercised an option to extend the Englishman’s contract by one year, since it was about to expire this year.
