Manchester United have completed the signing of defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace.
The England under-21 international becomes United’s second signing of the summer following the arrival of Dan James from Swansea City.
The 21-year-old has signed a five-year deal, with the option of another 12 months, worth around £80,000-a-week.
“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,” Wan-Bissaka said.
“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 preseason tour.”
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made Wan-Bissaka a top priority this summer after right-back Antonio Valencia was released.
The Old Trafford club had an initial bid of £35 million plus add ons rejected and Palace grew frustrated as negotiations dragged on.
But sources told ESPN FC that United made a breakthrough in the talks and will pay an initial £45m with a further £5m in add-ons. (ESPN)
