Crystal Palace target Aaron Wan-Bissaka has sent a message to Wilfried Zaha as the Eagles and West Ham attempt to sign him.
The Manchester United No.29 has fallen out of favour under Erik ten Hag, playing just four minutes of Premier League football so far this season.
It was The Athletic who revealed that the Eagles and the Hammers want Wan-Bissaka, although it may be Crystal Palace who win the race given the right-back’s relationship with those still at Selhurst Park.
Wan-Bissaka messages Zaha
Well, the 24-year-old came through the academy ranks at Selhurst Park, and after a period of being left in the cold at Old Trafford, he may prefer to return to where he is loved, rather than join West Ham.
Wan-Bissaka clearly remains close with Zaha, as the £50m defender sent the Ivory Coast international a birthday message earlier today after he turned 30.
The Englishman has also admitted to supporting Crystal Palace, so we believe the chances of Patrick Vieira beating David Moyes to his signature are very high indeed.
Ten Hag has preferred Diogo Dalot at right-back since taking over in Manchester, and he really doesn’t seem to like Wan-Bissaka at all.
The Dutchman hasn’t even given him any minutes in the Europa League, despite a number of fringe players receiving opportunities in Europe’s second-tier competition.
Manchester United preparing to sell Wan-Bissaka
By the looks of it, Ten Hag is getting ready to offload Wan-Bissaka.
The Athletic claimed that a summer exit only failed because a backup for Dalot was not found.
However, Sky Germany have revealed that Manchester United want to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen in January, who plays at right-back.
Therefore, the Red Devils are seemingly getting ready for life after Wan-Bissaka, so don’t be surprised to see him return to Crystal Palace in 2023.
