no credible sources yet, but yeah, I assume this one gets done. Last United offer was 35m plus 15m in add-ons, but Palace wanted more up front. We'll see how the deal is structured, but if it's 55m in total then I'm sure a good portion of it is based on add-ons as well.
I like it, Wan-Bissaka was really good last season and he has a lot of upside. Still a bit raw and still learning the position (he was a winger before), but that's the kind of player I want United to target in order to build a side. I actually see him and Dalot work well together on the right side, as Dalot might be better suited to the wing due to his suspect defending. It also means less playing time for Ashley Young and that's never a bad thing.
