OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER is ready to increase his offer for Aaron Wan-Bissaka to £ 50 million.
Manchester United has seen Crystal Palace's KO'd (£ 40) start bid, which is expected to come close to £ 60 million for England's right-back under-21s.

The Red Devils believe that this right is excessive for a player who made his debut in February 2018.
And they are increasingly frustrated by the prices offered to young local talent.
They identified alternatives such as Thomas Meunier from Paris Saint-Germain.
But Solskjaer is adamant that he wants Wan-Bissaka, 21, to be the long-term right-back of Old Trafford.
They will come back with an improved offer and hope that an agreement can be concluded for much less than the price asked by the palace.
It may well be that they have to spend more than £ 50 million to win last year's Palace Player of the Year award.
Solskjaer is in a hurry to get Wan-Bissaka, fearing that Palace will not sell Wilfried Zaha and him the same summer.
EAGLES COULD CLOSE THE DOOR IF THE ZAHA IS SOLD
And if a club were to make a significant bid for the former United widow in the coming weeks, he could see the Eagles close the door by selling the defender.
Solskjaer is also eager to sign new recruits by the return of his team for pre-season training, in just three weeks.
They will spend a week at their training facility in Carrington before going on a pre-season tour to Australia and the Far East.
Solskjaer would like to pair Wan-Bissaka with Englishman Harry Maguire in a new United defense next season.

However, Leicester is looking for at least £ 80 million for the defender – and he also feels that he would prefer to move to Manchester City.
United will complete its first signing this summer later this week when Dan James of Swansea will join the group in a £ 18 million move.
The winger will sign his contract in the coming days to become the first Solskjaer contract as a permanent boss.
