According to Soccernet.ng, Premier League legend Dwight Yorke has been lobbying with Manchester United to make an offer for Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze, athletes of Nigerian heritage and two of Crystal Palace's explosive strikers.
Stressing out how crucial it was for the FA Cup champions to get their signatures, and that they might be essential members of the squad for many years to come, Yorke told TVSportGuide,
“Man United should go buy two Crystal Palace players right now, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, without a doubt."
“Those two young boys are the players Manchester United need at the club right now. They’re young, have great talents, and would improve the club.
“In two or three years, they would be coming into the best part of their careers, and they’d be integrated into the Manchester United side by then.
“Olise and Eze are proper players. They have some of the best potential I’ve ever seen. These two kids improve Manchester United’s attack without a shadow of a doubt.”
Yorke thinks Olise and Eze, who have been causing waves in the Premier League with their performances for Crystal Palace, will be good choices for Manchester United to spend their money on.
Yorke believes Olise and Eze might help Manchester United improve their offensive capabilities, as the team has struggled to score goals this season.
Despite making few appearances due to injuries, Olise has drawn attention, and Eze has been instrumental to the team this season with eight goals and five assists.
The 22-year-old Oliseh played for France at the youth level and seems more likely to feature for the reigning world champions.
On the right side of the Super Eagles, Olise will provide Nathan Tella and Samuel Chukwueze with fierce competition if he chooses to play for Nigeria.
Nonetheless, the attacker is adaptable and can operate as a left-sided attacking midfielder or as a number 10.
