MANCHESTER UNITED will have to spend £100m to sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, according to Eagles legend John Salako.
The Selhurst Park duo have emerged as top targets for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - who is planning a complete overhaul of his squad this summer.
It is understood that United are set to launch a £35m bid to bring English right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Old Trafford this summer.
Solskjaer is keen to bolster his defence with Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian both expected to leave at the end of the season.
And SunSport exclusively revealed that the Reds are in pole position to secure Zaha's signature in a cut-price deal.
But Salako, who played for Crystal Palace from 1986 until 1995, insisted United will need to splash the cash if they want to sign them both.
'BIG MONEY'
When asked to name a price for Wan-Bissaka, Salako told talkSPORT: "I would say probably £40million.
"I mean Luke Shaw came in at United for £30m, so £35m to £40m for a fledgling, young lad who has only had one season, that would be big money."
For Zaha, he said: "For Wilfried, probably more like £50m to £60m."
Zaha failed to live up to expectations during his first spell with United and he was sent straight back to Palace on loan in 2013.
The forward worked with Solskjaer during his 2014 loan spell with Cardiff and the pair are said to have enjoyed a good relationship.

Speaking about the pair's progression at Palace, Salako added: "You know, you say your youngsters, play your 90, 100 games, learn your job, learn your trade.
"But Aaron [Wan-Bissaka] hasn't played. He's come on leaps and bounds and if he moves he's going to be under massive pressure.
"Do you remember when Wilfried went to United? He was too young, too early, didn't settle in. He's got that massive pressure week in, week out and he has to step up another level or two."
