‘Without a doubt’… Paul Robinson says 9-goal forward would walk ‘straight into’ Manchester United starting XI

Paul Robinson believes an exciting forward would walk ‘straight into’ the Manchester United team, despite the fact he’s only played 17 times this season.

Manchester United’s terrible season hit a new nadir on Monday when they were thrashed 4-0 by Crystal Palace.

The pressure continues to mount on beleaguered manager Erik ten Hag and the flailing Dutchman potentially has just four games left in charge at Old Trafford.

Whether or not Ten Hag is sacked in the summer, it’s obvious massive changes are once again required in the squad and it’s set to be a busy transfer window once again.

However, it will be the first summer with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos Group and the new hires at board level in charge of transfer activity.

It’s intriguing to wonder how they will approach the market and what players they are looking to recruit.

Former goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise should be a target.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live at 8:56 pm on Friday, Robinson said when asked if Olise could make the jump to a bigger club: “Without a doubt.

“I can see him fit in. He would go straight into the Manchester United team, the way that Cole Palmer has left and gone to Chelsea, somebody like that would go straight into a Manchester United side.

“For him, if he is to go, he has to go somewhere and he has to play.”

Should Manchester United sign Michael Olise?

Olise proved on Monday night just how special a talent he is when he tore United to shreds, scoring two fantastic goals to take his tally in the campaign to nine.
