Aaron Wan-Bissaka was not seen with the Manchester United squad as they traveled to London, sparking talks of a potential transfer to West Ham United. Along with Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof, who are also on the transfer list, were absent from the train journey on Friday. Despite playing in the previous match against Liverpool, Wan-Bissaka’s future at United remains uncertain.
United manager Erik ten Hag mentioned that all three players’ fitness would be evaluated before the weekend. Lindelof, who played the first half in the friendly match, is a doubt for the upcoming games. Wan-Bissaka and Shaw are also question marks, with their availability dependent on further assessment.
While there is little interest in Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka is in advanced talks with West Ham. Reports suggest that negotiations between the two clubs are at an advanced stage, with a potential deal expected to be finalized soon. A medical examination could take place as early as the following day or at the beginning of the week.
In order to proceed with the transfer of Wan-Bissaka, United may need to sell him to secure the signing of Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich. The club has reportedly already agreed on personal terms with Mazraoui earlier in the summer. This could potentially lead to a double deal involving Matthijs de Ligt, who has also been linked with a move to United.
Mazraoui, who is currently playing for Bayern in the pre-season, could be a key addition to United’s squad. Coincidentally, Bayern is also in London this weekend for a friendly match against Tottenham Hotspur. The Moroccan international has been featuring for his current club in the pre-season fixtures, showcasing his potential impact on the field.
As the transfer saga unfolds, United fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on the potential deals involving Wan-Bissaka, Mazraoui, and de Ligt. The club’s strategic moves in the transfer market could shape their squad for the upcoming season, with new additions expected to bolster their defensive lineup. Stay tuned for more developments on this evolving story.
