Man Utd legend Teddy Sherigham is urging former club to sign Michael Olise
Manchester United star Teddy Sheringham has urged his former club to beat Chelsea and sign Crystal Palace star Michael Olise.
United will be busy this summer and need to strengthen in many areas despite winning the FA Cup, having finished eighth and exiting the Champions League in the group stage.
After deciding to continue with Erik ten Hag as manager the Red Devils can now move forward with their transfer plans.
Sheringham urges United to sign Olise
United have been heavily linked with a summer move for Olise, who is a fan of the club, but they face stiff competition from Chelsea, with Arsenal also said to be interested.
Former Red Devil Sheringham believes United should have “top players” like Olise, adding that he would like to see the Frenchman at Old Trafford.
“I would like to see Michael Olise as a Manchester United player,” he told Genting Casino.
“He was at the top of his game for Crystal Palace in the last few months of the season and should be high on United's wish list.
“I like him as a defender and United should look at the players which is the reason why their current team is doing well, in this case Crystal Palace.
“Top players like that, United should have them.”
Olise is the man in demand following an impressive season at Selhurst Park where he scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 19 Premier League games as Palace enjoyed a renaissance under new manager Oliver Glasner which saw them finish 10th.
The 22-year-old was close to joining Chelsea last summer after the Blues activated his £35m release clause, but a deal fell through and Olise ended up signing a new deal until 2027 with his release clause believed to have increased to around £35m. 60 m.
