Darren Bent has urged Manchester United to avoid going after Michael Olise
As reported by ESPN, Manchester United have been looking to bring in Crystal Palace star, Michael Olise. It has been reported that the team is willing to give up Aaron Wan-Bissaka for a deal to go through.
However, Darren Bent believes that this would not be a good move for Manchester United as they could end up hindering the growth of the young French star.
He went on to suggest an alternate pairing on the right wing. Both Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho can take up that role for the team. Bent, believes that there are other positions that Manchester United should be shopping for instead of a right-winger.
However, the team will need to do something about the situation with Antony. Manchester United paid £82m for the Brazilian winger and he has mostly been a non-factor for them this season. Over 22 appearances he is yet to record even a single goal or assist.
Meanwhile, Michael Olise has been excellent for Crystal Palace. Despite just nine appearances this season, the 22-year-old has scored five goals while also recording an assist for the team.
While the Antony situation is troubling a deal for Olise wouldn’t be justified at the moment. As pointed out by Bent, the Red Devils already have Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho to replace the Brazilian.
