Ten Hag given green light to make January transfer but must unload unwanted flop

Erik ten Hag will be keen to improve his Manchester United squad in the January transfer window but has reportedly been told he must find an unwanted star a new club first

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will reportedly be allowed to sign a new right-back in January – if they can offload Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The 24-year-old defender has played just four minutes of football this season after picking up a back injury. He returned to the bench for United’s 1-0 win against Real Sociedad last Thursday but was left out of the squad for Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Wan-Bissaka was signed from Crystal Palace for £50million in the summer of 2019 and played 100 games for United during his first two seasons. He was dropped midway through last term in favour of Diogo Dalot and is yet to regain his place in the starting XI.

As reported by The Telegraph, Ten Hag wants to sign a new right-back in January to provide Dalot with some competition. United are only expected to sanction the transfer if the Dutchman can find a new club for Wan-Bissaka in the coming weeks.
