MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly lining up a transfer for Thomas Meunier, as they prepare to take a £40MILLION LOSS on Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
United are in the market to improve their options at right-back, with Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot coming under fire for their poor performances across the last 12 months.
And now, three years after buying him for a whopping £50m, United are reportedly prepared to take a £40m loss to sell Wan-Bissaka back to Crystal Palace.
According to The Telegraph, Palace are willing to take their academy graduate back to Selhurst Park, but will only pay £10m to do so.
Wan-Bissaka was signed with the hopes of developing the attacking side of his game to compliment an already superb tackling ability.
However, the defender has failed to develop as planned, and has even lost his place in the United starting XI this term.

The Telegraph add United are looking to replace him with one of Borussia Dortmund right-back Meunier or Sergino Dest.
Meunier, 30, has started both games for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga but was hooked at half-time of their 3-1 win over SC Freiburg.
United are yet to make an offer for the Belgian defender but are understood to be more likely to sign him than Dest, with Barcelona demanding £17m for the USA international.
Fresh reports today have also indicated United are in line to sign Christian Pulisic on loan from Chelsea.
