Manchester United have transferred Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham United and are now waiting for confirmation on the acquisitions of Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt.
Wan-Bissaka has completed his £15 million move to West Ham. The 26-year-old right-back made 190 appearances for United after joining from Crystal Palace for £50 million in 2019 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. During his tenure at the club, he scored twice, assisted 13 times, and earned League Cup and FA Cup medals. His exit has created room in Erik ten Hag’s reshaping squad for Mazraoui’s arrival.
The former Ajax defender, along with de Ligt, is expected to be officially presented by United following Ineos’s successful acquisition of both players for approximately £51.5 million, including add-ons.
Wan-Bissaka has agreed to a seven-year contract with West Ham and departs with United’s support. Many of his former teammates, including Jadon Sancho, Mason Mount, Bruno Fernandes, and others, have offered their best wishes through social media.
Sancho was quick to comment on Wan-Bissaka’s Instagram post with a message of support: “My family! All the best brother!” along with a fingers-crossed and red heart emoji. Other former teammates, such as David De Gea, Eric Bailly, Kobbie Mainoo, and Donny van de Beek, also shared their well-wishes using various emojis.
Wan-Bissaka thanked United, their supporters, and his social media followers for helping him “achieve so many dreams” during his time at Old Trafford. His transfer to West Ham represents the end of a significant period for the right-back. Having played a key role in defense since his arrival in 2019, his departure paves the way for United’s planned reinforcement with Mazraoui and de Ligt, reflecting Ten Hag’s strategy to bolster the squad with players aligned with his system and aiming for top-level competition.
