Manchester United has made a significant move in the transfer market, signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace for a reported fee of up to Sh6.5 billion.

The 21-year-old right-back has signed a five-year contract with an option to extend for a further year, making him the most expensive defender in United's history.

Wan-Bissaka made just 42 Premier League appearances for Crystal Palace, but was an outstanding performer last season.

He will become United's second signing of the summer, following the arrival of winger Daniel James from Swansea.

Wan-Bissaka will travel with his new teammates for a pre-season tour in Australia, Singapore, and China after a short break to recover from a disappointing under-21 European Championships with England.

He scored an injury-time own goal to gift France a 2-1 victory in England's opening game in Italy and was then dropped for matches with Romania and Croatia as Aidy Boothroyd's side crashed out at the group stages.
