Man Utd manage to talk down Crystal Palace Wan-Bissaka price

Manchester United are closing on a deal for Crystal Palace for fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The Daily Mail says the clubs are understood to be closer to an agreement with talks centring on a figure of around £42.5million for the 21-year-old with add-ons to follow.

Palace value the England under 21 international right-back at £60m and United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sees Wan-Bissaka as a key part of his defence going forward as he looks to inject greater energy into his side's play.

The chances of the move going through have increased in recent days despite the defender being currently away on international duty at the Under 21 European Championship in Italy.

Was-Bissaka's value has soared following an outstanding campaign at boyhood club Palace last season that saw him make 39 appearance in all competitions.
