See fans reaction after man united completed their second summer signing
Manchester United have announced the signing of England under-21 international Aaron Wan-Bissaka as their second signing this summer after Wales International Daniel James joined the Red Devils earlier this month. It was reported that Wan-Bissaka joined the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer side in a deal worth £50 million ($63m). The 21-year-old right-back has been snapped up on a long-term contract following a breakout season with Crystal Palace.
Manchester United and Crystal Palace had negotiated long and hard over the exact details of the transfer fee, with a sell-on clause in Wilfried Zaha’s switch from Old Trafford to Selhurst Park in 2015 having become a bone of contention as Palace wanted to remove the 25 per cent demand removed in return for allowing Wan-Bissaka to leave. But the two sides finally settled on an initial £45m outlay, with a target-related £5m due at a later point.
After the deal, the club’s manager, Solskjaer and Wan-Bissaka all reacted, which was followed by the reactions of fans on social media.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said of Wan-Bissaka: “Aaron is one of the best upcoming defenders in the Premier League. He has the right work ethic, talent and mentality to play for Manchester United and he fits exactly the type of player that we are looking to bring into the squad to help us improve and push on further. “Aaron is a young, hungry player and eager to learn and that’s important at his age. I am delighted he has signed with us and we look forward to continuing his tremendous development so far.”
Wan-Bissaka added: “It’s an unbelievable feeling and an honour to call myself a Manchester United player and something I know that only a small number of players have the privilege to say. “I can’t wait to get going and integrated into the squad. I will have a short break now after the European Championships but I’m looking forward to starting training with the manager and my new team-mates on the pre-season tour.”
It is yet to be decided when the youngster will join up with United for pre-season training since he has only recently ended his 2018-19 campaign. The senior United squad are due to reconvene on Monday and will fly to Australia to begin their summer tour the following week.
Fans reaction was a mixed one as some were in support of the signing why some criticised the signing and the management in general. One thing was common in the reactions of fans on twitter which is #GlazerOut. They are directly referring to the owners of the club who are the Glazer’s family.
