BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United completes Wan-bisakka signing

Manchester United have completed the signing of Crystal Palace full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka in a deal worth about £50 million ($63m) after a break-out season with the Eagles. 

The England Under-21 international underwent a medical at United’s Carrington training complex on Thursday having returned from the Young Lions’ unsuccessful outting at European Under-21 Championship in Italy.

The club has now announced that they have wrapped up the signing of the highly-rated 21-year-old, making him their second signing this summer following on from the deal which brought Swansea city defender Daniel James to the theatre of dreams.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said of the defender:

 “Aaron is one of the best upcoming defenders in the Premier League. He has the right work ethic, talent and mentality to play for Manchester United and he fits exactly the type of player that we are looking to bring into the squad to help us improve and push on further. He's [Aaron] young, hungry player and eager to learn and that’s important at his age. I am delighted he has signed with us and we look forward to continuing his tremendous development so far.”

After signing the long-term deal, Wan-bisakka has this to say:

 “It’s an unbelievable feeling and an honour to call myself a Manchester United player and something I know that only a small number of players have the privilege to say. Ican’t wait to get going and integrated into the squad. I will have a short break now after the European Championships but I’m looking forward to starting training with the manager and my new team-mates on the pre-season tour.”
