Aaron Wan-Bissaka has found life difficult at Manchester United since Erik ten Hag arrived, with West Ham hoping to give him a fresh start.
That is according to The Athletic, as David Moyes expresses a desire to bring the £50m man to east London after Diogo Dalot was chosen as the No.1 option at right-back.
Wan-Bissaka has played just four minutes of Premier League football so far this season, and now an interesting rumour coming from Old Trafford could see West Ham gifted a chance to sign him.
Manchester United could now do business with West Ham
Well, the only reason Wan-Bissaka remained in Manchester over the summer was due to the fact Ten Hag failed to sign a replacement, according to The Athletic.
However, the Red Devils have now identified a rival for Dalot, which – if he is successfully signed – would free up the Crystal Palace academy graduate to join West Ham.
The Sun believe Max Aarons has emerged as a January target for Ten Hag, with the report specifically mentioning how the Norwich defender would arrive to replace Wan-Bissaka and compete with Dalot.
So far this season, the 22-year-old has made 19 appearances in all competitions for Norwich, scoring one goal.
West Ham must push Manchester United
Ten Hag clearly has no interest in using Wan-Bissaka, so even if Manchester United fail to wrap up a deal for Aarons, the Hammers should push them to sell their unwanted No.29 in January.
The 24-year-old would provide a superb option at right-back, where Thilo Kehrer – naturally a central defender – lined up at Old Trafford on Sunday.
David Moyes is lacking an outstanding option in that department, and given the fact Wan-Bissaka was one of the best defenders in England before moving to Manchester, he certainly has the talent to make that role his own.
