Chelsea target Michael Olise would prefer to join Manchester United

Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

The 22-year-old French winger could be on the move this summer and he has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United. However, a report from Fichajes claims that the player has made it clear that he wishes to join Manchester United.

Although he is open to the possibility of joining Chelsea, he would prefer the Red Devils. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

The winger picked up 10 goals and six assists this past season, despite having an injury-ravaged season. He is regarded as one of the finest young attacking talents in the country and he could develop into a key player for Manchester United if they can get the deal done.

The Red Devils will have to bring in an upgrade on Brazilian winger Antony, who has been quite underwhelming since his big money move from Ajax. Olise could prove to be the ideal upgrade on the Brazilian.
