Manchester United reached an agreement with Aaron Wan Bissaka on a severance package on Sunday evening to clear the way for his £15million move to West Ham.

The right-back was due to undergo a medical at 4pm on Sunday but that was postponed until Monday as United tried to find a solution.

United have reached an agreement for the £55.8million double transfer of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazroaui from Bayern Munich, with both players travelling to Manchester on Monday.

Mazroaui’s move was contingent on Wan-Bissaka being sold. United have also been offered free agent Mario Hermoso following his departure from Atletico Madrid and the club will hold another recruitment meeting today to discuss their next targets and who else could leave amid growing interest in Victor Lindelof.

United remain confident they can agree a new contract with captain Bruno Fernandes this month.

The full-back is expected to join West Ham for £15million, with a medical scheduled for Monday.

Wan-Bissaka made 190 first-team appearances for the Red Devils and scored two goals after joining from Crystal Palace in 2019 for £50million.

West Ham make him their seventh signing after a busy summer, as new manager Julen Lopetegui has overhauled his squad.

Max Kilman, Niclas Fullkrug, Crysencio Summerville, Luis Guilherme, Wes Foderingham and Guido Rodriguez all arrived for a fee of over £100million.

United quickly snapped up Mazraoui as Wan-Bissaka’s replacement, with Bayern accepting a £17m bid, including £13m upfront and £4m in bonuses.

The 26-year-old, who played under Erik ten Hag during his time at Ajax, has also entered the final year of his contract with Bayern and can play as a left back.

In a major boost just a week before the start of the Premier League season, United have also reached an agreement with Bayern for Matthijs de Ligt.

The Red Devils will pay an upfront fee of around £38 million, with a further £5 million in add-ons.
