Erik ten Hag has reportedly told Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka that he is free to leave the club this summer.
Wan-Bissaka has made 149 appearances for Manchester United since joining from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2019. He has two goals and 11 assists in that time.
Wan-Bissaka appeared to be on his way out in January after appearing in just four Premier League games between the start of the season and the World Cup break.
However, Diogo Dalot’s injury issues resulted in the 25-year-old being handed a run of games in the starting lineup.
Ten Hag has rotated the two players since Dalot’s comeback, after previously declaring that neither Wan-Bissaka nor the Portugal international is a sure starter.
Man United are expected to improve their right side of defense during the summer transfer window, and they have been linked with a move for Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong.
With the Red Devils ready to recruit a new right-back, it is expected that one of Wan-Bissaka or Dalot will be released.
According to Football Insider, Man United manager has informed Wan-Bissaka that he is free to leave the club this summer.
According to the report, Ten Hag would want to keep Dalot’s services, and as a result, the Englishman will be judged surplus to needs.
Wan-Bissaka has a contract with Manchester United until June 2024, but the club is currently open to permanent or loan offers for the full-back.

The former Palace man still has a part to play this season, having returned to the team throughout Saturday’s 2-0 win over Everton.
Wan-Bissaka will be trying to save his spot in Man United’s Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla, which takes place at Old Trafford on Thursday.
