Manchester United should ensure they beat rivals Manchester City in the race for Crystal Palace playmaker Ebere Eze, according to one of their iconic former players.
Eze honed his craft in the Championship with Queens Park Rangers before stepping up to the Premier League in August 2020 by joining Crystal Palace. The attacking midfielder is the latest former Championship star to make a big impact for Palace in the top flight, having established himself as an exciting and classy performer.
Both Michael Olise and Eze were affected by injuries last term, but the latter still managed 11 goals and six assists in 31 matches across all competitions.
Eze did enough to make Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the Euros and he went on to feature three times as the Three Lions were beaten by Spain in the final.
Palace may have managed to tie the 26-year-old down to a long-term contract, which runs for another three years, but they are at risk of losing him this summer.
Olise has already left for Bayern Munich in a £52million deal, and now ex-Man Utd striker Dwight Yorke has told the Red Devils to raid Palace for Eze.
