Paul Merson proven right as Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Man Utd transfer comments come to light

Paul Merson had major reservations when Manchester United signed Aaron Wan-Bissaka in 2019 - and he looks to have been proven right.

The Red Devils spent £50million to sign the right-back from Crystal Palace during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure, but three years on and Wan-Bissaka finds himself down the pecking order with Erik ten Hag prepared to sanction his exit. That leaves United no doubt having to accept a huge loss on their investment.

Merson expressed concerns about his style of play and the adaptations that he would have to make at Old Trafford when the deal was announced.
