Man United star misses training as the Reds are waiting for him to seal transfer away

Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka was reportedly not in training today as he continues to be linked with a transfer away from Old Trafford.

According to Fabrizio Romano in his Daily Briefing column earlier today, the 26-year-old has not always been a regular starter for Man Utd and it now appears likely that his long-term future lies away from the club.

They are waiting for him to leave so they can sign Noussair Mazraoui as a replacement right-back.

Although Wan-Bissaka can be a reliable defender when he plays well, his limitations as a modern full-back make it understandable that the Red Devils are looking to move on from him and find someone better.

Though it seems likely that clubs would be interested in him, it’s possible that his absence from practice today indicates that he’s edging closer to a move.

Wan-Bissaka joined United from Crystal Palace back in the summer of 2019 and started brightly for the club, though it now perhaps seems like it would be unwise to wait much longer for him to fulfil the potential he showed as a youngster.

As recently reported by Give Me Sport, West Ham can perhaps be optimistic about their chances of signing Wan-Bissaka, and it will be interesting to see if anyone else enters the running as well
