Defensively, the 26-year-old is right up there with the very best in the world. He might even be the best defensive right-back in the modern game but football has moved in a different direction and the club want a more attack-minded profile.
For example, Diogo Dalot is the perfect embodiment of a modern-day full-back. He is excellent going forward, can overlap and underlap and is also equally capable of playing at left-back. A case can be made for the Portuguese international being Man Utd’s best player last season.
According to today’s edition of La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Man Utd have identified Noussair Mazraoui as a potential upgrade on Wan-Bissaka.
We covered a story yesterday stating that the Red Devils are closing in on a move for the £132,000 a week Bayern star.
The report adds that Man Utd’s other target for the position, Denzel Dumfries, has agreed a new deal until 2028 with Inter Milan and could stay at the club. This has forced the English club to pivot towards the ex-Ajax star.
Gazzetta claim United ‘orbit’ agent, Rafaela Pimenta, who is pushing the Bavarian defender to move to Old Trafford.
