Serie A outfit make Manchester United defender a priority target

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is one of the players Manchester United will be trying to offload for the best price this summer.

Reports from Italy suggest AS Roma are joining the race for his signature, although Stretty News understands that his preference is a return to London.

That could be back at Crystal Palace or elsewhere – but nobody expects Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham to signal interest in Wan-Bissaka.

According to CalcioMercato.com, as per the Manchester Evening News, Roma have ‘joined the race’ to sign the former Palace full-back.

Wan-Bissaka could see his United deal expire in June next year, so this is our last chance to cash in on him. That is why we think he could be among the first names out of the door.

He has also been linked with Inter Milan and more recently Galatasaray.

Il terzino turco piace ancora al club di Istanbul, ma il primo obiettivo per quel ruolo è #WanBissaka del #ManchesterUnited.

What next for United at right-back?

As far as Wan-Bissaka is concerned, he lost his battle with Diogo Dalot for the right-back slot at United.

It may be time to add a younger right-back to the squad. A hot prospect to learn from and push Dalot for a place in the team.

United have been linked with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong in the past, though it remains to be seen if there will be money to spend on a right-back this summer.
