Manchester United lead the race to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. The French attacker is on the radar of multiple Premier League clubs.
According to ESPN, the Red Devils are in pole position to lure the right winger, who has a release clause of between £50m and £60m.

The renowned news source have mentioned that Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in hiring the 22-year-old star but United are front runners.
The Anfield club, who qualified for the Champions League last night, have been looking to beat the Red Devils to the signing of Olise (FT).
However, the dilemma for the Merseysiders is that the playmaker is a Manchester United supporter and would prefer to move to Old Trafford (Football.London).
Olise has been in brilliant form for Palace this season when fit, but unfortunately, he has spent the majority of the time on the injury table this term.
So far, the youngster has only started 11 games in the league in the current campaign and directly contributed in as many goals (7 goals and 4 assists).
Selhurst Park star, Joel Ward, believes Olise is a “special talent” who has the quality to be a top star.
Man Utd do need a new winger because Antony has been poor since joining us from Ajax and the future of Mason Greenwood at Old Trafford remains up in the air.
In your view, should Man Utd bid £50m+ to sign Michael Olise?
Why sign Olise while Sancho, Antony and Amad can play in that position
Sancho has only had a handful of good games for Dortmund. Anthony has to learn to be able to go outside. Amad is not pulling up trees. But risky buying a player who has been injured most of the season. Greenwood was fortunate to avoid trial. None of the above appear to be the answer to the right wing problem for united. Keep looking.
