Man United will develop Aaron Wan-Bissaka claims pundit
Manchester United have spent the last few weeks working on a deal for Wan-Bissaka, despite Crystal Palace’s reluctance to sell.
The 21-year-old, who struggled for England U21s as they crashed out of the European Championships this week, is seen as the solution to their right-back woes.
Club captain Antonio Valencia is leaving Manchester United this summer after 10 years of loyal service.
And Wan-Bissaka is also viewed as an upgrade on Ashley Young, whose own days at Old Trafford appear to be drawing to a close.

Meanwhile, England U21s boss Aidy Boothroyd has expressed a belief that United’ interest in Wan-Bissaka impacted his performances for his country.
“When speculation is flying around it is bound to turn your head,” he said.
“Having said that, had he not scored the own goal we wouldn’t be having this conversation!”
Boothroyd added: “For a young player, who all he knows is the Palace academy and the Palace first team, it’d be daft not to say that in some way he must think about it.
“What I will say is because he doesn’t say too much you don’t get to find out too much. Aaron is a very private guy.”
