Aaron Wan-Bissaka close to joining Manchester United
Written by News on 26/06/2019
Aaron Wan-Bissaka could undergo a medical at Manchester United in the next 24 hours, with United having made progress in their bid to sign the Crystal Palace right-back.
The Palace defender will cost £45m plus £5m based on add-ons.
He is expected to sign a long-term contract at Old Trafford and would become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s second signing of the summer, following the addition of Daniel James from Swansea.
The England U21 defender will be United’s fourth most expensive signing of all-time behind Paul Pogba (£89m), Romelu Lukaku (£76m), and Angel Di Maria (£59.7m).
Wan-Bissaka had three years remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park and featured 39 times in all competitions last season as Palace finished 12th in the Premier League.
United boss Solskjaer was keen to bring in a right-back this summer following the departure of club captain Antonio Valencia.
