Manchester United defender 'offered January escape route' and other transfer rumours

Wolves are reportedly targeting a move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, with the Manchester United right-back having only featured in one match all season under Erik ten Hag.

According to talkSPORT, the right-back will be targeted for a transfer in January, with the Midlands side hoping for defensive reinforcements as they seek to avoid relegation under new boss Julen Lopetegui. He has been displaced by Diogo Dalot this season, with injury problems hindering his progress under Ten Hag.

The 25-year-old has played just four minutes this season, with his one appearance coming late on in United's win against Liverpool in August.

Wolves currently lie bottom of the Premier League table, with former Spain and Real Madrid boss Lopetegui having come in to save them from the drop. So far this season, they have deployed Jonny and Nelson Semedo in the right-back role and will be hoping that Wan Bissaka's defensive skills can help them beat the drop.

Elsewhere, France's World Cup star Antoine Griezmann continues to be linked with a move to United, with French outlet Foot Mercato suggesting that United are considering a move for the Atletico Madrid man following the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Griezmann has struggled for form in Spain this season. However, following his success in a free role behind Olivier Giroud in France's journey to the World Cup final, he may be considered as a possible replacement for Ronaldo.
