Manchester United remain open to offers for full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer, despite agreeing a deal with Watford that will see third-choice right-back Ethan Laird depart on loan for the 22/23 season.
The Manchester Evening News report that Laird ‘has agreed to embark on a third Championship loan after spells at Swansea and Bournemouth last season’, in a loan move that ‘is expected to go through once United’s pre-season schedule concludes’.
Despite this, however, Wan-Bissaka could still depart this summer, with Ten Hag having failed to be impressed by the English defender since he arrived at the club at the end of the 21/22 season.
‘United have received more enquiries for fellow right-back Diogo Dalot over the last year but informed interested clubs the only right-back they are prepared to negotiate for is Wan-Bissaka’, the MEN claim, adding that ‘the club are eager to shift the right-back’.
Of course, should they do so, they will need to source a replacement, with Dalot and Wan-Bissaka currently the only two options available to the Dutchman at present. Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries has consistently been linked with a move to Old Trafford, but has been priced at a massive 45m euros by the Italian side.
