Manchester United has sold Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Premier League rival West Ham on Tuesday. The transfer fee is reported to be £15 million ($19 million).
Wan-Bissaka, known as one of the best one-on-one defenders in England, ends his five-year stay at United. He will now compete with Vladimir Coufal for the right-back position at West Ham.
United is not wasting time finding a replacement. The club is reportedly close to signing Morocco full-back Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich. In addition, United is also set to secure Netherlands center-back Matthijs de Ligt.
Footage surfaced on Monday showing De Ligt heading to Manchester, signaling that his move could be finalized soon.
Earlier in this transfer window, United strengthened its defense by signing 18-year-old center-back Leny Yoro from Lille for €62 million ($68 million).
With these potential new signings, United’s defense could see significant changes before the season starts.
