Aaron Wan-Bissaka already looks like a fantastic buy
Manchester United bought Daniel James from Swansea and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace as Solskjaer targeted young British players as the base of his rebuilding. Both players traveled with the pre-season squad and impressed with their performances in the United shirt.

Daniel James was expected to be an understudy this season and pick up after gaining some Premier League experience. However, the youngster has already shown qualities that indicate he will adjust to life in the league quite well.
James's speed is an asset and his work ethic is praiseworthy. It's just his crosses and finishing that need a little sharpening; if he takes care of those things, James might knock at the first team door already.

He was particularly impressive against Spurs, where he showed that he was ready for the physicality of the Premier League.
Wan-Bissaka, on the other hand, needs no introduction to the league. There was a reason United paid the big bucks for him, and that was reinforced through his performance in pre-season.
Wan-Bissaka went from strength to strength, building an exciting partnership with Pogba and impressing both in attack and defense. He already looks worth the £50m United paid for him, and has also adjusted very well to Solskjaer's tactics.
The pre-season was a chance for Solskjaer to induct his new signings into his squad. And the Norwegian can be extremely pleased with the way things have worked out.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written over 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered close to 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
