That Manchester United fans were nervous about splashing out £50million on Aaron Wan-Bissaka last summer said a lot more about their recent transfer success than it did about the young right back.
Wan-Bissaka returns to his former home of Selhurst Park tonight, where he would have got a hero's reception had fans been allowed in, having firmly established himself as United's first choice and already repaid most of that fee.
United fans, his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and team-mates rave about the 22-year-old, who was enjoying a fine season even before their resurgence either side of lockdown following the signing of Bruno Fernandes.
