Man United news: Expert issues verdict on Aaron Wan-Bissaka joining Euro giants as stance revealed

Kevin Phillips has suggested Aaron Wan-Bissaka could head to Europe to “rediscover his love for football” with Man United reportedly listening to offers.

The former Sunderland striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed the 24-year-old’s Old Trafford move “just hasn’t quite worked out”.

According to Sky Sports (19 May), Man United will listen to offers for Wan-Bissaka this summer as he doesn’t feature in the plans of new boss Erik ten Hag.

The former Crystal Palace defender, who was signed for a reported £50million in 2019, has made 20 league starts this term.

The former England Under-21 right-back has been linked with a return to Selhurst Park.

Compatriots Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori have had success moving from the Premier League to Serie A in recent years.

When asked if Wan-Bissaka could follow Abraham and Tomori abroad, he told Football Insider‘s Ewan Kingsbury: “That could be best for him to rediscover his love for football.

“He just needs to find regular football. He’s had a taste of a massive club, just as Wilf Zaha did when he left Palace.

“Zaha ended up going back, and I think Wan-Bissaka needs to find somewhere he enjoys playing again.

“Whether he goes back to Palace or goes abroad, he just needs to continue his development – because he’s still young.

“He’ll take great experience from being at United, but it just hasn’t quite worked out.

“The manager will play an important part as well.

Anyone bringing him in has got to look after him.”
