Being a squad player worked well for him and for the team last season ... we still need to strengthen the squad though.

It's sad to see our best players going because we can't step up a gear but that's unlikely to happen without a big investor coming in to back us. Unfortunately, it probably won't happen until s***hole Park is developed. Always real estate before personnel.

News of the deal being done for 55mill are spreading across other news outlets, however they are sourcing the Daily Record article. Suggestions it may not be completed until he returns from the U21 Tournament.

If the deal goes through I would expect him to be included in an England squad as a Man Utd as opposed to a Crystal Palace player.
Bitter? A little.
He’s been with us in the first team just over year and I’d love to have seen him with us over say 5 years to see how he develops.
Yes its a lot of money and hopefully in a years time we can say it was a great deal as we bought in a couple of great players with the money.
However, it doesn’t feel that way at the moment.

Its only a good deal if the money is used to improve the squad. My suspicion is that Parrish has earmarked most of money for other purposes.

how the fook is it a gamble.

he is the real deal.

i wish you bunch of idiots putting him down would just accept reality that he is going into bigger & better things than us.

the state of some of you guys on this thread is nothing short of embarrassing.

I can't recall a better tackler than Wan-Bissaka.
But there is more to a fullback's game these days, they also have to go forward a lot more,and provide decent crosses,and I think he's lacking in that department.
That's why if the £55m offer is true Palace must accept it, before the penny drops for United,because Ashley Young is a far more dangerous attacking option.

I agree, I doubt many of them watched the game last night. From what I saw AWB was pushed in the back by Henderson and was off balance when he tried to clear the ball and it went in the net.
Hardly a bad game and football people will see it for what it was. I remember Seaman being beaten from the halfway line for England, he went on a won numerous caps afterwards.
I understand people don't want him to leave, but to say he isn't worth the asking price for his age and potential is burying their heads in the sand.

I do think he’s mustard but I can see him being “worse” for United than us. His strengths are more defensive than attacking and he’ll be asked to do a lot more attacking for United than he was asked to do for us.

Agree. An excellent fullback , don’t think he will ever make a great wingback though.
I think with his pace and tackling he could end up as a center back in a pairing with a bigger partner.
Very good last season , but too much money to turn down.
