Man Utd: Ten Hag could now sell £90k-a-week star at Old Trafford

Manchester United could sign ‘a new right-back’ this summer if they can offload Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The 24-year-old fell down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the arrival of former interim manager Ralf Rangnick, and it appears unlikely that he will regain his starting spot under new boss Erik ten Hag.

Romano has previously informed GiveMeSport that Diogo Dalot, who replaced Wan-Bissaka in United’s starting XI, is a player that Ten Hag ‘really likes’.

And reports have also claimed that Wan-Bissaka and fellow full-back Brandon Williams have been urged to find new clubs ahead of the upcoming campaign as their game time will be severely limited.

BBC Sport then disclosed that Crystal Palace were interested in re-signing their academy graduate on loan, three years after they sold him to United for an eye-watering £50 million.

However, offloading Wan-Bissaka on a temporary basis is unlikely to be an appealing prospect for the Red Devils, who would surely feel the need to bring in a replacement.

The former England Under-21 international still has two years remaining on his £90,000-per-week contract and finding a suitable buyer may prove difficult.

Full-backs are key to Ten Hag’s style of play, tasked with providing width and attacking impetus down the flanks, an aspect of Wan-Bissaka’s game that has often been criticised.

And Romano believes that United could look to bring in a new right-back if they receive a ‘good proposal’ for Wan-Bisska first.

In an interview with GMS, he said: “This depends on Wan-Bissaka. If they are able to sell Wan-Bissaka and find a good proposal for him, it could be an option to go for a new right-back.”
