These Palace fans react in unison to Aaron Wan-Bissaka's England call-up after Man United move

It is a big day for former Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka after being called up to the senior England squad for the first time.

The former Palace full-back, who joined Manchester United in a deal worth up to £50million this summer, has been named in Gareth Southgate's squad for the first time, ahead of games against Bulgaria and Kosovo over the upcoming international break.

Wan-Bissaka was consistently linked with a potential England call-up last season as a result of his impressive form at Palace, with the Croydon-born defender winning the Eagles' player of the season and players' player of the season awards.

However, while he featured at U21 level for the first time last season and was involved with Aidy Boothroyd's side at the European U21 Championships this summer, he was not included in any senior squad by Southgate, until now.

Wan-Bissaka is one of three right-backs named in the squad, with Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Atletico Madrid's Kieran Trippier also included in Southgate's squad.

The 21-year-old's call-up comes after an impressive start to life at Manchester United, having started all three Premier League games so far for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this season.

But his inclusion has got Palace fans talking, and saying the same thing, on social media.

Here's what some Palace supporters have said following the announcement of the England squad.
