According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is willing to trade Aaron Wan-Bissaka on a permanent basis this summer.
What is the most recent update on Wan-future? Bissaka's
The right-back had a difficult season under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, appearing in just 26 games across all competitions and failing to play a single minute of football in the final five Premier League games — three of which he did not even make the match-day squad.

This has fueled speculation that Wan-Bissaka is on his way out, with his former club Crystal Palace named as one of the likely destinations.
What did Romano have to say about Manchester United's plans for Wan-Bissaka?
In an interview with GIVEMESPORT, Romano stated that United are willing to allow Wan-Bissaka leave this summer, and that rather than accepting a loan bid, they prefer to wait for a permanent deal.

"The Wan-Bissaka situation must be sorted because Manchester United are willing to selling him if a suitable offer comes in," he stated.
"At the moment, there have been some offers for a prospective loan, but they want to wait in case they obtain a permanent deal from another club." So the door is open for Wan-Bissaka.
Ten Hag was correct to let Wan-Bissaka go at Manchester United.
The £90,000-a-week star has struggled since his big-money move from Crystal Palace a couple of years ago, and it's telling that Ten Hag appears to have given the go-ahead for his departure without having the opportunity to examine him in person during pre-season this summer.
One of the most serious critiques leveled at the full-back has been his attacking problems, with former United defender Gary Neville acknowledging that it is an aspect of his game that is severely lacking.
"The concept of transitioning Aaron Wan-Bissaka into Trent Alexander-Arnold or Kyle Walker is never going to happen," he remarked.
It's an antiquated method, because nowadays full-backs are expected to play as wingers, score goals, set up goals, and take free kicks and penalties. "This is a bit of a throwback.
Indeed, in 126 games for the club since signing from Palace, the right-back has provided 10 assists and scored two goals – compare that to Liverpool's Alexander-Arnold, who has provided 62 assists and scored 12 goals in 226 games.
With Ten Hag joining the club, it appears like cutting their losses on Wan-Bissaka and moving on from him is the best option.
