Manchester United signed Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace in a £50m deal in the summer of 2019 thus making him one of the most expensive fullbacks in the history of football. Wan-Bissakacame through the youth setup at Crystal Palace before he made his debut for the first team. His breakthrough season in the Premier League was during the 2018/19 season as he was named the Player of the Year at the club and a big transfer to Manchester United followed immediately.

Wan-Bissaka, 24, was the first choice right-back in his first two seasons at Manchester United until this season when he has had to share the position with Portuguese star DiogoDalot. He has 20 appearances in the Premier League this season in addition to six Champions League outings.

Crystal Palace target Wan-Bissaka might not be able to add to his 20 appearances in the league when Chelsea are guests of Manchester United on Thursday as he’s a doubt for the game billed to take place at Old Trafford. The right-sided defender is doubtful for the game due to injury. His injury status ahead of the game was revealed by interim manager Ralf Rangnick during his pre-match press conference on Wednesday. The player will go through a late fitness test to determine his availability for the game with Manchester United hoping to put an end to a run of two consecutive defeats in the league. The Red Devils have lost to Liverpool and Arsenal in their last two Premier League matches thereby hurting their chances of finishing in a Champions League position at the end of this season.
