Regardless of the outcome of the cup final against Manchester City, the rumors persist that the Dutchman will be fired due to United’s terrible Premier League season, in which they finished eighth.

Despite United’s 2-1 victory at Wembley, Ten Hag is expected to continue in his position following an end-of-season evaluation, according to The Guardian.

Those responsible for United’s recruitment will now make a concerted effort to discover possible players for transfers.

When it comes to signing a Premier League star, though, the Manchester club seems to have already fallen behind.

When it comes to signing Michael Olise, a winger for Crystal Palace, 90min reports that United are in second place, after Premier League rivals Chelsea.The Frenchman’s performance for the Eagles has piqued the curiosity of several major European teams; but, according to the source, United are not in the running to sign Olise; instead, the Blues are.

The attacker, who will be competing for France at the Olympics later this year, signed with the London club in 2021 after playing 90 times for Reading. In that time, he has scored 16 goals and recorded 25 assists.

The club’s management is allegedly preoccupied with other, more pressing areas of recruitment, which is why United have not officially expressed interest in the Frenchman.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that Chelsea will be actively seeking to sign the player again this summer, after coming close to doing so last year.
