Leeds United linked with January transfer switch for Manchester United outcast

Leeds United are among a number of clubs interested in 'out-of-favour' Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the January transfer window looms ever closer.

Although Wan-Bissaka has fallen down in the pecking order at Old Trafford, interest in the 25-year-old has seemingly picked up out of nowhere. Several clubs, including the Whites, are believed to be keen on signing him next month.

According to outlet 90Min, United have made it clear to Wan-Bissaka that he can pursue other options both in England and abroad, having made just a single substitute appearance under new boss Erik ten Hag this season.

Having been a shoe-in for previous manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's starting XI, Ten Hag seems to have favoured Portuguese international Diogo Dalot over the former England Under-21s man over the first half of the campaign.

With two years left on his contract, the 25-year-old will certainly want a move away from the Red Devils if his playing time doesn't pick up and Leeds are just one of many teams ready to swoop in for his signature - a list which also includes West Ham and Crystal Palace, who 90Min believe have already spoken to United.

However, it's believed Wolves are the ones leading the chase for the star after new manager Julen Lopetegui has made signing a new right-back a priority to lift his side off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone.

90Min's report adds that United are prepared to let him go out on loan in the New Year, with a view of a permanent deal attached onto any deal for the man who they paid £50 million for in 2019.
