Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag gave a withering assessment of right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka's near-anonymous season.
Wan-Bissaka has only played four minutes for United under the Dutchman and has not started since the defeat at Everton on April 9.
The 24-year-old was absent for almost two months with an unspecified injury and was an unused substitute against Real Sociedad last week, but Wan-Bissaka failed to make the matchday squads against Aston Villa in the Premier League and League Cup.

Diogo Dalot is the only United player who has started every game this season but he is suspended for the league fixture at Fulham on Sunday. It is highly unlikely £50million right-back Wan-Bissaka will replace Dalot and Victor Lindelof or Tyrell Malacia are expected to start there.
Ten Hag has also been without right-footed full-back Brandon Williams through injury for four months but he is due to return to team training next week.
When asked about two players who have barely appeared all season, Ten Hag replied: "Not that well. Because Brandon wans't available, bad injury and really struggles.
"But he is in the right direction, he is in a good way, he is back on the pitch and he will return to team training next week, he will go with us in training camp to Cadiz, he will be available for the team, so happy for him, that's good to know.
"Aaron Wan-Bissaka: he struggles as well but in a different side. Some injuries, some illnesses, so he was also often not available but doesn't have a real big problem.
"So it's about him to get really fit and to make competition with Diogo for the second half of the season."
Wan-Bissaka was informed he was free to leave United before the end of last season but the club lacked offers for the defender.
