'Here we go' - Fabrizio Romano confirms £15m Manchester United deal with medical tomorrow
Manchester United have reached an agreement to sell defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham United.
The 26-year-old is set to sign for Julen Lopetegui's side in what is reported to be a £15 million deal, with the right-back due to undergo a medical at the London club on Sunday.

Hide AdUnited have been looking to sell Wan-Bissaka all summer after he entered the final year of his current deal and have already lined up Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui to replace him.
Wan-Bissaka was not involved for United when they faced Man City in the Community Shield on Saturday afternoon, with his final appearance for the club coming in their final pre-season friendly against Liverpool last weekend.
Taking to social media ahead of the Wembley showdown, Romano posted: "Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham, here we go! Verbal agreement in place for right back to join #WHUFC from Man United as planned. Understand medical tests already booked on Sunday for AWB! Fee will be £15m. Man United authorized AWB to travel… Mazraoui, joining soon."
United have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich for the transfers of both Matthijs de Ligt and Mazraoui, with reports suggesting De Ligt’s arrival will cost an initial €45m, plus €5m (£39m + £4m), while Mazraoui will cost €15m plus €5m (£13m + £4m).
Assuming they complete medicals without any problems, the pair could be available for United’s Premier League opener against Fulham next Friday.
