Since joining Manchester United in a £50 million transfer three years ago, former England youth international Aaron Wan-Bissaka has struggled to find his feet.
Following reports that Aaron Wan-Bissaka isn't in Erik ten Hag's plans at Manchester United, Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in re-signing him.
Since leaving Selhurst Park for Old Trafford in June 2019, the £50 million signing has failed to impress. Despite the fact that Wan-Bissaka has 126 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions, Diogo Dalot has been the right-back of choice this season.Ten Hag was just named United's new manager, and he is said to have put five players on the market. Phil Jones, Eric Bailly, Alex Telles, and Anthony Martial are among others on the list alongside Wan-Bissaka. Sevilla has him on loan for the time being.
After a breakout 2018-19 campaign at Palace, Wan-Bissaka had a lot riding on him. In August 2019, he was called up to Gareth Southgate's England team, however he had to withdraw due to a back problem.
Palace are interested in completing a deal, according to The Athletic, but it is still early in the process. Because Nathan Ferguson has only played eight minutes of professional football this season owing to injury, manager Patrick Vieira is thought to desire to improve the right-back position.Palace are unlikely to repay the £50 million United spent for Wan-Bissaka three years ago, therefore a loan deal may be the only option. Transfermarkt values him at £27 million, and his current contract has two years left on it with the option of a third.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's signing of Wan-Bissaka has been chastised for failing to produce enough quality in the future. In 131 Premier League appearances, he has only 11 assists. Trent Alexander-Arnold, on the other hand, has 12 assists in the first half of the season.
In September, former Arsenal playmaker Paul Merson observed, "Now Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a very talented defender, but he won't get you seven or eight assists a season." In the Premier League this season, Wan-Bissaka hasn't provided a single assist.Wan-Bissaka, according to Paul Scholes, is a ""Wan-Bissaka, I don't think Palace would take him back!" said Roy Keane in October. He isn't up to the task of playing for Manchester United. Decision-making without a feel for the ball."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said after signing Wan-Bissaka in June 2019: "Aaron is regarded as one of the Premier League's most promising young defenders. He possesses the necessary work ethic, talent, and mentality to play for Manchester United, and he is exactly the type of player we are wanting to add to the group to help us grow and progress further.
"Aaron is a motivated, youthful athlete who is ready to learn, which is crucial at his age.
