Manchester United are set to spend big this summer as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to overhaul his underperforming squad. Crystal Palace's Aaron Wan-Bissaka is top of his transfer wishlist with the two clubs haggling over a fee which could eventually top £50m. They won't be stopping there, however, with Sporting midfielder Bruno Fernandes another key target.
Elsewhere, the likes of Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich look set to be disappointed in the chase for Matthijs De Ligt with the Ajax captain appearing to be closing in on a move to Juventus.
United had initially been hoping to prise the 22-year-old from Selhurst Park for £25m, and then £50m, but Palace have been steadfast in their stance.
They have no need to sell Wan-Bissaka so it will ultimately be up to United to match their valuation.
