Aaron Wan-Bissaka is seen as integral to Erik ten Hag's plans at Man United as contract talks get underway, sources have told Football Insider.

Wan-Bissaka is currently out of contract at the end of the season – although the Red Devils hold the option to extend his deal a further 12 months.

But it is believed that player and club are in discussions over a completely new, long-term deal which would see the defender commit his future to Man United.

This development represents a significant U-turn for Ten Hag, who initially declined to select Wan-Bissaka upon his arrival at the club.

He played just four minutes in the Premier League prior to last season's mid-season World Cup break.

However, he won Ten Hag over in the second half of the 2022-23 campaign and became a regular starter as Man United secured a third-place finish.

The London-born ace made 34 appearances across all competitions last term, notching one assist.

Wan-Bissaka has already played five times in the new season but has been a big miss for Ten Hag during his time out with a hamstring injury.

He has missed the last six games.

The ex-Crystal Palace ace cost Man United a reported £50million in 2019 – and has gone on to make 165 appearances for the club, scoring twice.

Formerly an international for England's Under-21 side, Wan-Bissaka is yet to make a senior appearance for the Three Lions.
