Manchester United have had a lot of dealings with Bayern Munich this summer, having signed the defensive duo of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
The Red Devils’ pursuit of de Ligt went on for a considerable time throughout the summer despite agreeing personal terms with the centre-back quite quickly. The 25-year-old has recently spoken out on his desire to join United, saying: “This summer when United came for me and, yeah, the trainer [Ten Hag] also wanted me really badly — and the club also — it made it, for me, really easy,”
He continued: “To get the chance to get to the Premier League first of all, and second of all to, I think, the biggest club in English football history.
“For me, it was a really easy choice to make.”

The interest in Mazraoui didn’t last anywhere near as long, coming seemingly out of nowhere alongside de Ligt. However, his signing was reliant on the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka to generate funds and clear space. Ultimately Wan-Bissaka moved to West Ham United, allowing for the deal with Mazraoui to go through.
Now, The Daily Mail has reported that United’s interest in Bayern Munich stars isn’t yet over, with a strong interest in one of the German giants’ new stars who The Red Devils were keen on signing this summer.
Former Crystal Palace star Michael Olise was a hot prospect this summer, with Chelsea and Manchester United wanting the French winger, with United even looking to use club legend Sir Alex Ferguson to persuade the 22-year-old to move to Old Trafford.
However, Bayern Munich had already activated a complex £60 million release clause to bypass negotiations with Palace to sign Olise.
Although Olise is now settling into life in Munich, after an impressive showing at the Paris Olympic Games with two goals and five assists in six games, United is expected to be at the front of the queue if the France international decides he wants a move away from Bayern.
