Sources: Aaron Wan-Bissaka giving serious thought to quitting Man United
Man United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is giving serious thought to quitting the club at the end of the season, sources told Football Insider.
The 25-year-old has experienced a resurgence at Old Trafford since the mid-season World Cup break, starting 12 straight games in all competitions while Diogo Dalot was injured.
But Man United are exploring the signing of another right-back this summer – and it is believed they are willing to listen to offers for Wan-Bissaka if another option is brought in.
The former Palace star is not willing to be a back-up option going forward and is mulling over a potential departure.
Sources told this site last week (14 February) that the Red Devils have taken a “really active interest” in signing Real Valladolid wonderkid Ivan Fresneda after scouting him extensively.
Football Insider has also revealed (20 February) that Dalot is close to signing a bumper new contract despite links to Real Madrid in recent weeks.
Wan-Bissaka had made just one four-minute appearance for Man United in the 2022-23 season prior to the World Cup.
But Dalot’s injury meant Erik ten Hag had to place his faith back in Wan-Bissaka, who rewarded him with a stint of solid performances.
Dalot has since returned to the lineup in back-to-back Premier League clashes against Leeds and Leicester.
Former England Under-21 international Wan-Bissaka is out of contract in less than 18 months – with the Old Trafford club holding the option to extend his deal a further year.
He has made 142 appearances since joining Man United from Crystal Palace for a reported £50million in 2019 but is yet to lift a trophy.
West Ham, Wolves and Palace were interested in his services prior to the January window – and the Irons have a continued interest in a potential deal ahead of the summer.
