had an opening bid worth in excess of £40m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka rejected by Crystal Palace earlier this month and are weighing up whether to make an improved offer for the England Under-21 international. Wan-Bissaka enjoyed an eye-catching first full season in senior football last season after graduating through the south London club’s academy, excelling at right-back and making 39 appearances in all competitions. The 21-year-old, originally a winger, is currently preparing for the summer’s junior European Championships in Italy and San Marino, with United having earmarked him as part of a radical revamp of their back-line. The sizeable opening offer was apparently tabled at the beginning of the month and rejected immediately by Palace. Wan-Bissaka is contracted through to 2022 at Selhurst Park with neither player nor club in any great rush to move on. It remains to be seen whether an offer closer to £60m might yet be considered more seriously.
