Paul Merson’s Wan Bissaka Prediction Has Resurfaced And He Was Right
A clip from Sky Sport’s Soccer Saturday in 2019 has resurfaced showing Paul Merson making a prediction of Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s career at Manchester United. It seems that the ex Arsenal player was spot on. Wan-Bissaka joined Manchester United for £50m in the summer of 2019 making him one of the most expensive defenders at the time. United signed the youngster after a stunning season at Crystal Palace where he won their Player of the Year award. Following the signing Paul Merson showed his concern that the player may not be good enough for United due to his tendency to go to ground and poor positioning. 📽 Back in 2019 Paul Merson wasn’t sure about Manchester United signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace for £50m.💰 He called it first! 👀 pic.twitter.com/x5s6...
