Ratcliffe eager for Olise to be first major Man Utd signing

Manchester United have identified Michael Olise as a key transfer target for 2024.

The London Evening Standard says the Crystal Palace midfielder is seen as a celebratory signing for new United powerbroker Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

A January move is unlikely, but United will go for Olise at the end of the season.

Olise signed a four-year contract in August but the £100,000-a-week deal does include a buyout clause, so making Palace vulnerable.

The 22 year-old has been superb for Palace since returning from injury last month.
