Manchester United are preparing to sanction the exit of Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the coming days, after which they’ll welcome defensive duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to the club.
On Sunday evening, it looked as though the right-back’s move to West Ham United was in jeopardy; David Ornstein shared an update revealing that both clubs were in talks to resolve the final details of his prospective transfer and, as such terms hadn’t been finalised yet, Wan-Bissaka stayed in Manchester despite his medical being booked in London.

Wan-Bissaka to complete Irons medical today
The ever-reliable journalist then followed up his report over two hours later with confirmation that the deal was ‘now fully agreed’ with all ‘issues resolved’. The 26-year-old will undergo his medical this morning before putting pen to paper on his Irons contract.
In turn, United will gain £15 million from his departure, which will cover the majority of Mazaraoui’s £17m fee; £4.2m is on add-ons. However, they will be forking out a hefty £38.4m up front to sign De Ligt.
