True, there isn’t a hole on the right wing, but there’s plenty dotted around the squad. That’s my original point.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Yeah… but Foden and Silva? There are levels and levels. It’s a mad take.
Amad playing for City would thrive, close to their levels. He’s that kind of player.
In hindsight yes, let’s see how he fairs there’s no questioning his potential.
Regarding Palmer, it was such a huge surprise, he just looks so comfortable at this level.
Didn't Chelsea buy him already last year or am I mistaken?
Looked like he was going but signed new deal
Could say the same with Mainoo. In normal circumstances he'd not be getting the same chances that he's got this season, and he's getting better every game
You got that right
Olise could also potentially play for Algeria or Nigeria.
I'd rather another club take the risk or he stays at Palace next season. Man Utd aren't in a position to take risks on players with long-term injury issues. Look what happened with Mount who only had one bad injury-hit season.
I believe Olise is eligible to represent France (played for under-21s) and England. Sounds like he prefers to play for France.
As for France having biggest reach of players... Is it really bigger than England, this year? Ironically, I doubt either England or France will win Euros, because both of them, especially England, have shitty coaches.
I don't think he has long term injury issues
I am sure a lot of players could say this. The reality is the only hard evidence we have is the fact that he has sustained injuries. Everything else is speculation. We can say for sure that he has been injury prone. People are assuming best case scenario which is that he is not due to xyz reason because they want the signing. We should be taking a cautious approach rather than hoping. If he's injury prone with palace's medical staff, he'll be glass with ours.
His injury history. Personally I think it’s not that bad. He has a thigh injury that surely is solvable with finding the right training and treatment long term. Much like we did with Giggs when he was early 20s.

I’m glad someone has put this up as it just backs up the belief of Hodgson bringing him back too early, I’m actually on a train right this second with a load of Palace fans and they’ve just said as such and that Olise was brought on against Brighton at 3-0 down whilst 50% fit at best then made the injury worse so I’ll take their judgement over the caf’s seeing as that’s their club.His injury history.

You place too much faith in our medical team.
I have a tough time with this one. Underlying metrics say he’s a future star, but reoccurring hamstring issues always scare the feck out of me and I personally would like a more versatile forward that could maybe start on the left as I think Garnacho is better on the right at this moment anyways.
Could go either way, I’ll be happy if we get him but also fine with passing and targeting someone else as I don’t think it’s a slam dunk either way.

It was ONE injury that he was brought back from way too early and as was obviously going to happen went again, nothing at all wrong since.
Perhaps. But they should be replaced if they cannot do their jobs as there is no such thing as a perfect player who is never sick or injured
needs to be a United player
He’s ready for a bigger club
He needs to be at the club come the summer
Him + Eze please. Double deal
They won't sell both of then in my opinion
Olise has versatility in him.
Based on transfermarkt, he has played on the right, left and in the middle. Only a few games on the left when he was at Reading but majority he played on the right with Crystal Palace and more in the middle or as no 10 when he was at Reading. So he’s not really a one dimensional player like Antony.
This versatility is similar to Foden. He’ll be fine in here. I don’t think signing Olise will prevent someone like Amad to play. I think they both can still play together in a line up.
We need winger or wide player who can cross and Olise is a good crosser with both feet.

100% approval at the club yet it won't be a quick one?
I just saw United Stand and ignored it
Obviously because he'll be assessing other options. He would be absolutely batsh*t crazy to sign for Manchester Utd at this point.
Just because you want him doesn't mean they'll sell for a price you're happy to pay, or that the player won't want to see what options he has.
Not sure why this is a priority for us? We don't need a right winger as Amad can play there, Garnacho plays better on the right than on the left, and if we're desperate Antony can even play, kind of.
Left wing is a much higher priority! We have Garnacho who can play there but not nearly as effectively, and that's it (not counting Rashford because we'd be better off playing with ten men). We need a left winger urgently.

It'll be interesting to see how much genuine noise comes out of the club this summer around our potential signings. Much of that might depend on what happens with ETH + what our new backroom staff can actually do (legally outside of gardening leave etc).
If they keep ETH then my faith will go right down (regardless of how well we might play in the final).
A fit Olise would surely be a v good player, but I can't help think we'll make hard work of this and other transfers.

Only makes sense if we can offload both Sancho and Antony. And we should.
He’s a Utd fan isn’t he? That might give us an edge despite the fact we’ve been shite and will most likely be without European football next season.
Has a release clause...
Still rate Eze higher in terms of ability but Olise would be a great choice if he can stay fit.
That doesn't mean it's a price you are happy to pay.
It is supposedly less than 60m Euros which if we aren't happy to pay then we aren't serious for a young HG winger with his return, that's more than reasonable for a club playing much more for Antony
Think the rumoured amount is something we're willing to pay.
I don't know what your FFP situation is, what your transfer budget is and what positions you want to spend that money on improving.
I'd imagine you need to sort out what is happening with Sancho, Antony and maybe even Greenwood before you spend what is probably a large % of your transfer budget on Olise.
Still better than being at Palace though.
One of my dream signings for the summer. He's a brilliant player and if we don't snap him up soon we'll watch him go to City, Chelsea or Arsenal in the future and regret not going for him.
