'A MUST for Manchester United' - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told to complete huge summer deal
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been told to make Aaron Wan-Bissaka his priority summer signing.
Posted Tuesday, April 09, 2019 by Dailystar.co.uk
The right-back has been a revelation for Crystal Palace under boss Roy Hodgson this season.
Wan-Bissaka broke into the Eagles' first XI last February as the result of an injury crisis.
And he has grasped his chance with both hands this campaign, making 30 Premier League appearances for the south Londoners.
The 21-year-old's form has been rewarded after he was voted Palace's Player of the Month for August, September, October and March.
United, meanwhile, have three right-backs on their books, although two of them are ageing.
Solskjaer knows he needs to strengthen in the position, especially as Antonio Valencia will depart Old Trafford in the summer.
Ashley Young, who was sent off for two bookable offences against Wolves, is also approaching the end of his career.
BBC pundit Garth Crooks has been highly impressed with Wan-Bissaka on his rise to prominence.
Crook's comment comes as:

And he has recommended that Solskjaer goes all out to snap up the England U21 international once the transfer window opens.
He told the BBC: "I thought about James Tomkins, who has been consistent for Crystal Palace this season, often in very difficult circumstances.
"However, I've gone for my young player of the season, Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
"He was superb yet again against Newcastle.

"This fabulous talent has not looked back since his Premier League debut at Fulham at the start of the season.
"This kid is a must for Manchester United."
United face a tough task against Barcelona in their Champions League quarter-final clash.
They welcome the La Liga champions to Old Trafford for the first-leg on Wednesday night (8pm).
