Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka talks with Crystal Palace progressing

Written by on 24/06/2019

Manchester United’s talks with Crystal Palace over bringing Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Old Trafford are progressing, Sky Sports News understands.

Palace are reported to want around £50m for the 21-year-old England U21 international full-back, who has three years remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to bring players in quickly this summer as he looks to build his squad for the new season.

United are understood to have had one bid worth an initial £35m with additional payments totalling to £15m, rejected.

Palace are under no pressure to sell Wan-Bissaka, who featured 39 times in all competitions last season as the Eagles finished 12th in the Premier League.

Wan-Bissaka is currently at the European U21 Championships in Italy but Aidy Boothroyd will not prevent him from completing the formalities of a move to United should they strike a deal with Crystal Palace.
