Solskjaer convinced Wan-Bissaka is right for Man Utd

Manchester United have completed the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace in a deal worth around £50m.

The 21-year-old right-back has signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford with the option of a further year.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told the club’s website: “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.

“Aaron is a 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.”

Wan-Bissaka recently featured for England at the Under-21 European Championships and is regarded as one of the country’s best prospects.

Wan-Bissaka said: “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.

“I can’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.”
