£50m Man Utd signing free to leave on loan in January

Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be permitted to leave on loan when the transfer window reopens.

The right-back has fallen down the pecking order under manager Erik ten Hag and has played just four minutes this term.

It is quite clear that Diogo Dalot is the number one choice over him and Ten Hag is now willing to sanction his departure.

According to The Sun, the hierarchy will listen to loan offers for the 24-year-old, who was signed for £50m three years ago.

He looked like a brilliant signing from Crystal Palace back then, but his lack of offensive threat does not suit the manager.

Wan-Bissaka's former club Palace are leading the race to sign him, but there could be competition from West Ham United.

Everton are also keeping tabs on the right-back. United will want his wages to be paid in full as part of the loan agreement.

United will be hoping that Wan-Bissaka can impress sufficiently such that they can sell him for a decent fee next summer.
