Eze has enjoyed a stellar season at club level, finishing with 14 goals and 11 assists across all competitions.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has publicly called on the club to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze. The player had a standout performance for England in their 3-1 defeat to Senegal at the City Ground this week.
Eze impressed in his first full 90 minutes for England, his sharp footwork, attacking presence and ability on the press made him one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise disappointing outing for the Three Lions.
Taking to Instagram during the match, Scholes posted a picture of the Palace playmaker in action with a blunt message directed at his former club: “Just buy him.”
Eze has enjoyed a stellar season at club level, finishing with 14 goals and 11 assists across all competitions. His crowning moment came in the FA Cup final, where he scored the decisive goal against Manchester City to secure Crystal Palace’s first-ever FA Cup title.
His performances have reportedly caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, including long-time admirers Tottenham Hotspur. Eze’s contract includes a £68 million release clause, making him a financially viable option for teams looking to add attacking creativity to their midfield.
Sources close to United say that the club want to sign a midfielder this summer, although this may be a central midfielder rather than an attacking one like Eze.
United are currently reshaping their squad after a turbulent season and have already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5 million. They are also actively negotiating with Brentford over Bryan Mbeumo after seeing an initial £55 million bid rejected.
