Manchester United make Aaron Wan-Bissaka decision today amid West Ham United talk
West Ham United target Aaron Wan-Bissaka is in Manchester United’s 25-man squad travelling to Norway for a pre-season clash with Rosenborg, according to Chris Wheeler.
The Daily Mail journalist shared the news on X on Sunday (July 14) amid plenty of ongoing rumours regarding the defender’s potential move to West Ham.
Wan-Bissaka has supposedly also expressed strong interest in joining the Hammers this summer [CaughtOffside, July 14), as he looks to depart Old Trafford after five years.
Wheeler wrote: “Casemiro, Rashford, Mount, Wan-Bissaka & Evans in Man Utd’s 25-man squad travelling to Trondheim to face Rosenborg on Monday night.”
Aaron Wan-Bissaka would be a great addition to West Ham
Wan-Bissaka moving to West Ham could be a big step forward for the club. After his stint at Manchester United, where he didn’t quite meet all expectations, a switch to London seems like a fresh start he’s eager for.
Known for his solid defensive skills, Wan-Bissaka could bolster West Ham’s backline. And while he might not be the flashiest going forward, his ability to shut down opponents one-on-one is difficult to match.
On top of that, for just £17million [The Sun, June 21], he’s a bargain in today’s market, especially considering his Premier League experience.
His arrival could mark the beginning of a promising era under Julen Lopetegui, especially with West Ham eyeing a return to Europe. Therefore, adding Wan-Bissaka’s reliability and pace could be the boost the Hammers need.
And, given his desire to be back in London [Stretty News, July 12], this move makes sense for both the player and the club.
While he may be part of United’s squad for the start of their pre-season fixtures, that is not to say talks will not be going on behind the scenes.
