Manchester United have done it. In one of the most dramatic transfer twists of the summer, the club has officially confirmed the signing of a £70 million-rated superstar, beating fierce competition from Chelsea to secure one of Europe’s most highly sought-after talents.
The deal was verbally agreed late last night in a flurry of behind-the-scenes talks and was quickly finalized by morning. The new signing has already completed his medical at Carrington, and in scenes of wild celebration, thousands of fans gathered outside Old Trafford this afternoon to welcome United’s biggest transfer of the summer so far.

💣 Verbal Agreement Reached in Late-Night Twist
According to insiders, negotiations between Manchester United and the player’s representatives reached a breakthrough at approximately 11:45 PM UK time last night. United, who had been tracking the player for over 18 months, moved decisively once Chelsea reignited interest earlier in the week.
With Chelsea offering similar terms, it came down to the player’s personal preference — and ultimately, his heart was set on Old Trafford.
> “He grew up watching United. That badge still means something,” one source close to the player told reporters.
After intense negotiations, United struck a verbal agreement worth £70 million, including performance bonuses and image rights. The deal was quickly formalized overnight, and arrangements were made to fly the player into Manchester in the early hours.

✅ Medical Completed, 6-Year Contract Signed
The superstar forward — aged 24 — arrived at Manchester Airport at 6:15 AM today, greeted by senior United staff and whisked to Carrington in a blacked-out van. At the training ground, he underwent a comprehensive medical, passing all assessments with flying colors.
By mid-morning, Manchester United confirmed via official channels that the player had signed a six-year deal with an option for a seventh year, tying him to the club until at least 2031.
His agent later revealed:
> “It was never about money. He wanted the project. He wanted the badge. The minute United came in strong, there was no turning back.”

🧨 Beating Chelsea: A Huge Statement
This signing is especially significant given the competition from Chelsea, who were reportedly in advanced talks as recently as 48 hours ago. United’s ability to outmaneuver a domestic rival — and close the deal quickly — sends a strong message to the football world: the INEOS era means business.
It marks the second time this summer United have pushed aggressively to win a transfer race many thought they had already lost. Club insiders say Sir Jim Ratcliffe and new CEO Omar Berrada personally stepped in to seal the deal.
> “This is the new United,” Berrada said during a closed media call. “We don’t wait around. We identify, we move, we deliver.”

🏟️ Old Trafford in Eruption: Fans Flood the Stadium
As word spread on social media that the signing was official and the player was en route to the stadium for filming and photography, thousands of Manchester United fans gathered outside Old Trafford, chanting, singing, and waving scarves and banners.
Security personnel were quickly deployed as fans tried to catch a glimpse of their new star arriving at the stadium. The club provided water and crowd control as the crowd swelled through the afternoon.
A fan named Liam, 19, told reporters:
> “I’ve supported United all my life. I’ve never seen anything like this since Ronaldo came back. This feels like something big is happening again.”

🧢 Who Is the Superstar?
While the club has yet to drop the official reveal video — expected at 7 PM tonight — multiple reputable sources, including Fabrizio Romano, confirm the player is Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.
Olise, one of the brightest young attacking talents in the Premier League, had a sensational season with 16 goals and 11 assists in 2024/25, dazzling fans with his dribbling, vision, and clutch performances.
At just 22 years old, Olise is already considered a future global star and is expected to walk straight into United’s starting XI, offering creativity, goals, and flair from the right wing — an area United have desperately needed to strengthen.

🎙️ First Words from the Star
Though brief, Olise offered his first words as a United player during his initial photoshoot:
> “It’s an honor to join Manchester United — a club with so much history and ambition. I can’t wait to get started and show the fans what I can do.”
The French international is expected to address the media formally at tomorrow’s unveiling, where he will also be presented with his shirt number, rumored to be No. 11, previously worn by club legends like Ryan Giggs and, more recently, Mason Greenwood.

⚽ What Olise Brings to Manchester United
Olise’s arrival immediately transforms United’s attack. A left-footed magician who operates from the right, he offers:
Elite dribbling and ball control
Deadly set-piece ability
Tactical intelligence
Composure in front of goal
Work rate in defensive transitions
His addition finally gives United a true specialist in the right-wing position, allowing Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund to thrive with better service and creativity around them.
Ten Hag — or any future manager if changes occur — now has a new weapon to unlock stubborn defenses and stretch opposition back lines.

🔮 What’s Next for United?
With Olise through the door, United are not slowing down.
Talks for João Neves (Benfica) continue as the club seeks a midfield replacement for Casemiro.
Jarrad Branthwaite remains a defensive priority, with Everton now softening on their £70M stance.
Outgoings are expected to pick up pace — including Sancho, Van de Beek, Martial, and potentially Maguire.
With £300M+ made available by INEOS, the Olise signing is likely just one of several marquee additions planned this window.

💬 Fans React: “WE ARE BACK!”
The online reaction has been electric. “This is the United we’ve missed,” one fan wrote on X. “Young, hungry talent. Ambition. Purpose. No more panic buys. This is a rebuild done right.”
The #WelcomeOlise hashtag has already trended No. 1 in the UK, with players like Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho posting celebratory emojis on Instagram.
This isn’t just a signing — it’s a signal.

✅ Final Word: A New Era, A New Identity
Manchester United are finally behaving like a modern football club again — decisive, ambitious, and forward-thinking.
With Michael Olise now confirmed and unveiled as a United player, the club has landed a superstar for the present and future — one who rejected Chelsea and Europe’s elite to be part of something special at Old Trafford.
The rebuild has begun. The fans believe again.
And today, Ma
nchester United reminded the world who they are.
