Michael Olise looked all set to depart Crystal Palace this summer, with Manchester United having agreed terms over a deal for the Frenchman - but he ultimately decided against a move to Old Trafford.
Michael Olise's decision to reject Manchester United for Bayern Munich will hurt even more – as he's a boyhood Red Devils fan.
Further interest was sparked by Olise's release clause, which made him available for £60million - a hefty but not unreasonable fee for a 22-year-old Premier League star. It is indicative of where the Red Devils find themselves after the last couple of years. Although they have won both a League Cup and the FA Cup in recent times, it is a commonly-held belief that a club of United's stature are not where they should be.
"It's a great challenge, and that's exactly what I was looking for. I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring that we win as many titles as possible with our team in the coming years."
