Manchester United could sign as many as six players in this summer transfer window as it edges close to complete a move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The 21-year-old English full back is on the verge of sealing a dream move to Old Trafford after Crystal Palace finally reached an agreement with their Premier League rivals.
The Red Devils will pay an initial £45 million for Wan Bissaka with a possible £5 million in add-ons. According to reports, the full-back who featured for England at the European Under-21 Championship, has arrived in Manchester on a private flight ahead of a medical.
An official announcement is expected to be made by the Old Trafford club on Thursday or Friday after the player signs a five-year contract which will see him earn £73,000 a week.

With Wan-Bissaka set to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's second signing after Swansea City's Daniel James, the Norwegian manager's team will potentially seek to recruit six more players ahead of the new season. As per Manchester Evening News, the list includes Sporting CP skipper Bruno Fernandes, Newcastle United prospect Sean Longstaff as well as West Ham defender Issa Diop and Leicester City's James Maddison.
Also, United has a keen interest in AS Monaco's Youri Tielemans and Tottenham Hotspur's Christian Eriksen. The latter is believed to be close to an exit and has been heavily linked with a transfer to Real Madrid this summer. With Spurs all but reaching an agreement for Lyon's Ndombele Tanguy, the Danish midfielder could potentially secure a move elsewhere.
