Aaron Wan-Bissaka picture Manchester United fans will love amid transfer interest

A picture has emerged of Manchester United transfer target Aaron Wan-Bissaka wearing a Reds shirt as a young boy.

As United close in on the signature of the Crystal Palace right-back, with a fee in excess of £50million expected, it has been revealed that the 21-year-old has supported the club since a very young age.

The picture, as revealed by The Sun , shows him wearing a Reds shirt from the triumphant 1999 season — the same shirt which has been used as an inspiration for United's new kit, which Wan-Bissaka will wear if he

Wan-Bissska grew up in south London and came through the Palace academy, making his first-team debut against Tottenham in February 2018, aged 20.

And it appears Wan-Bissaka could soon be playing for the club with whom he holds a long-standing affection, something which is bound to go down well with the United supporters.

He featured alongside United goalkeeper Dean Henderson for England's Under-21s at this summer's Euros, but like the rest of the side endured a miserable competition and scored an own goal in their 2-1 defeat to France, before being dropped for Jonjoe Kenny.

Wan-Bissaka's anticipated move to Old Trafford is likely to break the transfer record for a British full-back — the previous highest being the £50million Man City paid for Kyle Walker in July 2017.

After Daniel James , the young right back should become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's second summer signing and will likely vie with Portugal's Diogo Dalot to be United's first choice right back.
