Manchester United Manager Erig Ten Hag has splashed £100 million on wordclass winger who has more goal contribution than Cole Palmer this Season

Dwight Yorke argues Manchester United should not hesitate to pay an extra £50 million to get Michael Olise’s signature.Despite their long-term interest in him, which finally didn’t translate into a clear deal, the Crystal Palace player is likely to shortly join Bayern Munich in a £50.7 million contract, beating competition from Chelsea, Newcastle, and indeed Manchester United.

Yorke firmly believes that United should offset Bayern’s action by doubling the offer, implying a significant nine-figure reward for the 22-year-old player, according to Manchester Evening News.

Speaking with Crypto Sports Betting, Yorke, a part of the legendary 1999 treble-winning side United, said: “Man United should have wrapped up signing Michael Olise already, you can tell the lad is a wonderful act and would grow at the club. He seized his chance at Crystal Palace and performed admisitely.

Having previously spent £85million on Antony whose performance has been deemed unsatisfactory in his two years at Old Trafford, the ex-United forward, who racked up 65 goals from his 152 appearances with the team, believes it wouldn’t be beyond capability for the club to offer more than £100million.

Yorke said: “That sort of player will be worth easily at least £50m nowadays, but if Man United are buying Antony for £85m, they will surely spend upwards of £100m for Olise. Man United cannot criticize what Palace values Olise at given the amount of money spent on such individuals like Antony.” Dwight Yorke has expressed strong opinions on Manchester United’s pursuit of Michael Olise, arguing that the club should be willing to pay significantly more to secure his signature. Olise, currently at Crystal Palace, is reportedly close to joining Bayern Munich for £50.7 million, despite interest from Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle.

Yorke, a key figure in United’s 1999 treble-winning team, believes Olise would thrive at Old Trafford and criticizes the club for not finalizing the deal sooner. He draws a comparison to the £85 million spent on Antony, suggesting that United should be prepared to offer over £100 million for Olise, given his potential and the current market dynamics .
