Manchester United report: West Ham to offer Aaron Wan-Bissaka route out of Old Trafford
Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has barely featured this season and West Ham want him on loan
West Ham want to bring in Manchester United’s forgotten man Aaron Wan-Bissaka on loan during the January transfer window, according to reports.
The 25-year-old hasn’t featured in Erik ten Hag’s plans this season, earning just four minutes of game time in all competitions.
The Manchester Evening News say United told the right-back that he was free to leave in the summer, and now West Ham are interested in a loan deal.
The Hammers have a good relationship with Wan-Bissaka’s representatives and want to find a regular right-back.
Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson rotated in the role before the winter break, but David Moyes wants more options.
Wan-Bissaka, who United signed for £45m from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2019, has fallen behind Diogo Dalot in the United pecking order.
The former Palace man hasn’t featured in a matchday squad since August and has struggled with some back problems this season too.
