Gary Neville has hailed Crystal Palace youngster Aaron Wan-Bissaka as a ‘massive talent’ and believes Manchester United should pursue him.
Wan-Bissaka is one of the most highly-rated young players in European football and had an excellent first full season at Selhurst Park.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to overhaul his squad after a disastrous end to their season, winning just two of their last 12 matches in all competitions and has identified the right-back as one of his top priorities.
United legend Neville, who made 602 appearances for the club over 19 years, has backed his former side in their quest for Wan-Bissaka despite the £40million price tag.
“He’s a massive talent and the club, to be fair, have always signed young, emerging British talent,” he told the Evening Standard.
“I don’t think that should change and it would seem to me that the club would like to go back down that route and he is one.
“The price is always going to be big because clubs are wise now to it, you can’t pinch players off clubs for £5m or £6m.

“They are wise to it and have the Premier League funding of £100-odd million so they don’t need to panic, they don’t need extra £5m or £10m – they want £50m or £60m.
“Leicester will be the same for [Ben] Chilwell and Maguire or [James] Maddison.
All these mid-tier clubs won’t let players go for £5m, £6m, £8m, £10m now.”
However, Wan-Bissaka, who was named the Eagles’ player of the year, said he plans on remaining with the club next season.
“The situation just shows that my performances don’t go unnoticed,” he told the Evening Standard.
“But I am with Crystal Palace at the moment. That is where my contract is and that is where I will be next season.
“I have got three years left on my contract. It says I’m going to be there, so that is all I can focus on now.”
