Willy Kambwala leavingManchester United ace Willy Kambwala is set to be sold to Villarreal this summer.
Kambwala had a breakout season last season, playing nine times in the Premier League due to the squad’s injury crisis.
But United are now ready to cash in on the centre-back amid an £8.5million bid from the Yellow Submarine.
The Red Devils are hoping to insert a buy-back clause in the 19-year-old’s deal.
The France Under-16 international has just one year remaining on his contact at Old Trafford.
And selling him will help ease the Manchester giants’ PSR concerns as offloading the teenager will count as pure profit.

First of all, his character. It has brought him so far and it’s an example to everyone in the building.
He will bring some DNA of Man Utd with that character.
He is such a strong driver, and that is also what he shows as a coach.
