Aaron Wan-Bissaka rejects West Ham United in favour of Inter Milan
Former Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka had been heavily linked with a move to West Ham in the summer - however, it has recently transpired that the player has turned the Hammers down in ‘favour’ of a move to Inter Milan, according to The Athletic.
United could sell Wan-Bissaka to Inter in a swap deal that would see Denzel Dumfries move the other way. While this is a possibility, it is understood that Noussair Mazraoui is the Red Devils’ primary right-back target. Furthermore, discussions regarding a possible swap deal with Dumfries are ‘not advanced’ - indicating that there has been little to no communication between United and Inter regarding this outcome.
Manchester United ‘keen’ to let go of three senior team players
United are ‘keen’ to offload three senior team players over the course of the transfer window - according to a report from TEAMtalk, the Red Devils are looking to sell Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Casemiro to free up funds to bring in new players.
Erik ten Hag’s men are pursuing Manuel Ugarte and Matthijs de Ligt - however, before they can complete a deal to sign either of these two stars, they will need to generate funds. While all three of the propose names on the chopping block have something to offer, Ten Hag feels they can make upgrades over them.
