Manchester United are in the lead to secure the signing of Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, according to sources at FootballTransfers.
The 22-year-old has been a standout performer in the Premier League this season, particularly in the latter part of the campaign, where he provided seven goal contributions in the last six games.

Michael Olise's Impressive Season
Olise has caught the attention of several top clubs with his performances.
His ability to influence games from the wing, combined with his youth and potential, makes him a valuable asset for Palace, and many believe that he could continue to improve at a higher level.
The young winger's contributions have been vital for Crystal Palace since Oliver Glasner took over the reins at Selhurst Park, and his performances have not gone unnoticed by Manchester United.
Newcastle's Interest
Newcastle United had reportedly placed Olise at the top of their wish list, hoping to bring the youngster to St James' Park.
However, their attempts are set to be dashed as Olise apparently favours a move to Old Trafford.
The player is believed to be a boyhood Manchester United fan, which adds to his preference for the Red Devils over Newcastle.
The Financial Aspect
Olise's current contract reportedly includes a release clause of around €70 million, which he signed last year.
Reports suggest that this release clause may be subject to certain conditions, though these details have not been verified.
Manchester United's interest in Olise aligns with their strategy of signing young, high-potential players who can make an immediate impact while also developing for the future.
Manchester United's Transfer Strategy
The Red Devils are looking to upgrade their right flank, especially following a disappointing season from Antony.
Olise, with his Premier League experience and youth, fits the profile of the type of player Manchester United are looking to bring in.
Financial Boost for Manchester United
Manchester United are expected to have significant funds available for the summer transfer window.
This financial boost is likely to come from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who plans to inject personal funds into the club.
This move could increase the club's allowable losses from €20 million to €122 million over the current accounting period, providing substantial spending power to get the likes of Olise.
