Manchester United are reportedly hoping to keep Aaron Wan-Bissaka at the club beyond the summer amid interest from Crystal Palace.
According to a report from The Sun, Manchester United are not interested in selling Aaron Wan-Bissaka despite considerable interest in his services. Wan-Bissaka has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and he has barely had regular game time last season. The 25-year-old is a target for Crystal Palace.
Apparently, there is a clause in the defender’s contract which will allow Manchester United to extend his deal for another season. There were rumours that Manchester United could look to sell the player, and it will be interesting to see if they can offer him regular game time if he ends up staying at the club.
Wan-Bissaka has been linked with a return to his former club Crystal Palace in recent weeks. The defender has failed to live up to the expectations since his big-money £50 million move to Old Trafford. So an exit will not be surprising.
Manchester United have Diogo Dalot ahead of him in the pecking order for the right-back slot. The Portuguese international is the first-choice starter for the Red Devils. There is no doubt that Wan-Bissaka has the quality to establish himself as a key player for Manchester United, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The former Crystal Palace defender is quite impressive at the back. But his attacking play is quite underwhelming. However, that did not deter him from usurping Dalot towards the end of the 2022/23 season. Meanwhile, he is a target for former club Crystal Palace.
Manchester United need a full-back with a more balanced skill set, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to sign someone if Wan-Bissaka departs in the near future. It seems that the Red Devils are not keen on weakening their squad any further amid Financial Fair Play issues. So they are ready to keep him at the club for another season.

Wan-Bissaka could prove to be a useful player for Manchester United next season, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. The Manchester United defender is very much in his peak years and he will look to establish himself as a regular starter in the Premier League. If Manchester United cannot provide him with the option to play more often, he could look to move on.
