When comparing Antony’s Premier League per 90 data to Michael Olise’s, it is evident who is the winner.

Manchester United transfer target Michael Olise’s stats per 90 during the 2023–24 Premier League season have been compared to Antony’s.

According to an Evening Standard article, United is considering making Olise one of their first acquisitions under Sir Jim Ratcliffe as they prepare a significant makeover of their ageing roster.

It is rumoured that Olise, who only signed a new four-year contract with Crystal Palace in August, has a release clause on his £100,000-per-week contract at Selhurst Park that kicks in this summer, should United decide to make a move.

According to the aforementioned report, Olise is also seen to have the ability to “revitalise” United’s offence, which is lacking as they continue to struggle in front of goal.

This season, United has only scored 22 goals in the Premier League. For instance, in all 21 of his appearances for Erik ten Hag’s this season, Antony has neither netted a goal or assisted another player.

In fact, this season, the 22-year-old France U21 international has outperformed Manchester United’s struggling winger in practically every category.

In terms of assists, chances generated, pass accuracy, crosses attempted, and take-ons completed, Olise has a greater proportion, as the Squawka chart below illustrates.

After the game against Forest , Peter Schmeichel expressed his opinion of the Brazilian without holding back.

The former United custodian told SuperSport, “He’s had an opportunity for a long time, this is a player that hasn’t scored this season, he’s not made an assist and he’s not scored, it’s like he’s not really understanding the game.”

As a winger, you would think that they would enter this area [the byline] and use their right foot to cross the ball, but he doesn’t. He’s making an effort, but he knows he hasn’t kept up with the pace.
