Manchester United will 'let Aaron Wan-Bissaka join Crystal Palace on loan'

Manchester United will let Aaron Wan-Bissaka return to Selhurst Park in the January transfer window, according to reports.

The 24-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at United this season as Diogo Dalot has established himself as Erik ten Hag’s first-choice option at right-back.

Therefore, he could sign for Crystal Palace in January. However, the Eagles will only take the 24-year-old on a loan deal, according to reports.

The Palace academy graduate initially impressed at Old Trafford, but has since failed to live up to expectations. As a result, he has lost his place in the United starting XI.

Wan-Bissaka has played just four minutes for football for the first team this season - coming on as a substitute back in August.

Wan-Bissaka's former side are now interested in offering him an escape. However, the only way Patrick Vieira can afford the 24-year-old is via a loan deal.

According to The Sun, a loan deal will still require 'some negotiating' as United are eager to offload the defender's £80,000-a-week wages for good.

Wan-Bissaka joined United from Palace in 2019 and has two years remaining on his deal at Old Trafford, with the club having the option to extend it by a further year.

However, United are looking to cut ties with the 24-year-old as his style of play does not suit Ten Hag.

The Dutch manager prefers defenders who carry the ball forward and penetrate lines effectively. This is not a strength of Wan-Bissaka.

Nevertheless, during his time at Manchester United Wan-Bissaka has made a total of 127 appearances for the club.
