Ratcliffe is pushing ahead with a £60m bid to sign Antony from Man Utd

Manchester United limped to a disappointing 1-1 draw with Burnley on Saturday, with former Manchester City-turned-Clarets coach Vincent Kompany spoiling the situation at Old Trafford by picking up half the points.

The packed Premier League clash saw a staggering 43 shots attempted by both sides, but Burnley's equalizer would have frustrated the already under-pressure Erik ten Hag, with Andre Onana tripping over the Clarets man before Zeki Amdouni fired home. the resulting penalty.

Without the former Ajax stopper, however, Kompany's relegation-threatened side would have pulled off a shock win at the Theater of the Dreams with the Red Devils somehow thankful for Antony's strike to at least get a point at the end of another frustrating clash.

However, Antony's days in the Man United line may be numbered especially if Sir Jim Ratcliffe turns his millions around and does all he can with this great development.

Man United transfer news

There are plenty of transfer rumors floating around from the Red Devils' point of view, with even the ten-year-old Hag's future up as a manager next campaign.

Jeremie Frimpong's name has been floated as a possible reinforcement for Man United's defence, with the Bayer Leverkusen defender having recently lifted the Bundesliga title under Xabi Alonso.

However, one name that will catch the attention of Red Devils fans as the development of yesterday's goalscorer is Michael Olise with a report from The Mirror suggesting that the ex-Reading man is interested in United, with Ratcliffe leading a move of around £60m.

Despite the current Crystal Palace winner missing large chunks of the season due to recurring problems, the 22-year-old has impressed Premier League defenses whenever he's been selected and could be the best in Manchester.

This could spell the end for the Brazilian striker, however, who has failed to make the Hag's first team ten this campaign despite playing for Burnley.

How does Michael Olise compare to Antony

Olise blew Antony's numbers out of the water when he started for the Eagles this season, even in fewer games than the 24-year-old.

Antony's goal against the Clarets was the first goal of his Premier League campaign in 27 games, while Olise has a career-best seven goals in 11 games.

Olise has started just 11 games, with four assists matching Antony's low.

The palace number seven also does Antony's tricky, boat-based game better than the South American has managed to pull off from the Ten Hag's men this season so far.

The in-demand 22-year-old is head and shoulders above his Man United team-mate when it comes to shooting and passing per 90 minutes last year, according to FBRef.

Olise better Antony with SCAs of 5.72 managed to measure Antony's 3.81 and progressive carries of 5.04 compared to 3.71 of the ex-Ajax man.

Palace's performance was even described as “good” last season by former manager Roy Hodgson after the exciting winger tore through Leeds United at Elland Road with three goals.

It won't be a walk in the park for Man United to secure an over-the-top deal for Olise's services despite their keen interest, however, as the Frenchman has a huge £60m price tag placed on his head by the Eagles. who are desperately trying to hold on to their star persona.

But, with previous reports suggesting that the former winger you are willing to change on the red side of Manchester, this could be a move approved by Ratcliffe in the near future.

After all, £60m looks like a bargain compared to the outrageous £86m that Antony once splashed out when you consider Olise's advantages over the topsy-turvy South American striker.
