Manchester United need to bid £60m to sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Solskjaer close to signing Bruno Fernandes and more Manchester United Transfer News: June 10, 2019

#2 United need to bid £60m to sign Wan-Bissaka

Crystal Palace v Manchester City - Premier League

We revealed yesterday that United were very close to securing the services of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, after submitting a substantial bid for the Englishman. The Telegraph reports that their bid, which is reported to be of around £40m was rejected by Crystal Palace, who want at least £60m for their prized asset.

United have identified the youngster as the ideal man for the right-back role at Old Trafford and had submitted an opening bid earlier last month, which was immediately turned down. Their second bid signifies Solskjaer's genuine interest in the youngster, who has developed into one of the finest right-backs in the country.

Even though the second bid was rejected, the mood around Old Trafford is positive. The club hierarchy believes that they will be able to procure the services of Wan-Bissaka next season and are determined to get their man. United will most definitely come back with a third bid which will match Palace's evaluation or at least be close to it. This definitely looks like a deal that might actually be completed soon.
