Manchester United to consider selling Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Eric Bailly<\/a> this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Romano states, any deal would depend on the proposals put forward.<\/p>\n

Manchester United to Consider Selling Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Eric Bailly This Summer<\/h2>\n

Wan-Bissaka and Bailly Involvement<\/h3>\n

Eric Bailly’s Manchester United career has been littered with disappointment. Largely because the talent is there for all to see, but the Ivorian either struggles to keep fit or has a sharp downturn in form, it is mostly the former in fairness.<\/p>\n

However, even when he has been fit, he has not been an option interim manager Ralf Rangnick<\/a> has ever really sought to rely on. This will be frustrating for Bailly, who signed a new contract just last summer. In 2021\/22, he had made just seven appearances for United.<\/p>\n

As for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, before this season he was of heavy reliance to Manchester United. However, it seems with the return of Diogo Dalot from his loan at AC Milan<\/a>, has come to the demise of Wan-Bissaka. Rangnick, in particular, has used Wan-Bissaka less and less.<\/p>\n

Whilst good options in their finest hours, there are question marks as to whether both players can really cut it for Manchester United over a 38-game season. With new manager Erik ten Hag set to take charge, United may look to raise some funds for the summer by selling some of the less-needed players in the squad.<\/p>\n

Even if United weren’t to sign another right-back, Brandon Williams returns from his loan at Norwich City this summer and can provide them with another option on both sides.<\/p>\n

Eric Bailly is already low down in the pecking order of centre-backs at Old Trafford and as shown with his lack of appearances this campaign, won’t be missed too much.<\/p>\n

Wan-Bissaka has been linked with a return to Crystal Palace<\/a> in recent months – though, that will only likely be on loan.<\/p>\n

It is believed that there is a good chance that Eric Bailly and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will leave Manchester United this summer. There is also interest from Crystal Palace for Wan Bissaka. (Via @FabrizioRomano<\/a> @Transferzone00<\/a>) pic.twitter.com\/ZLaJUrgZ6A<\/a><\/p>\n
