# Manchester United: Aaron Wan-Bissaka likely to stay

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is likely to stay at the club in January, says Fabrizio Romano.**

### **The Lowdown: Wan-Bissaka situation**

Wan-Bissaka suffered a terrible start to the season with him only appearing for [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-wan-bissaka/leistungsdaten/spieler/477758) minutes before the World Cup break, which came in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) back in August.

This led to the [Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/wan-bissaka-man-united-transfer-25780764) claiming West Ham United’s potential interest in taking the Englishman on loan back in December.

[The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-transfers-wan-bissaka-28768305) also reported Wolves’ interest in Wan-Bissaka, with it looking ominous just weeks ago that the 25-year-old wouldn’t be finishing the season at Old Trafford.

### **The Latest: Romano’s comments**

However, Wan-Bissaka’s situation looks to have gone full circle at United, with him starting the last [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-wan-bissaka/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/477758/wettbewerb/GB1/saison/2022) league games in the absence of Diogo Dalot.

And Romano has recently revealed on his [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z30ZcI41R4&ab_channel=FabrizioRomano) channel that there now looks to be a change of heart from Erik ten Hag.

He said: “On the right-back situation, there is an important update, and it is about Wan-Bissaka.

“Aaron Wan-Bissaka has now a very good chance to stay at Manchester United.

“You remember in November, in December, he was available on the market after a very difficult first part of the season. Now, the feeling is the opposite: it’s for Wan-Bissaka to stay at Man United.

“Man United, at the moment, are focusing on Wan-Bissaka as the player to create competition to Diogo Dalot, who is of course the owner of the right-back \[position\] at Manchester United.”

### **The Verdict: Set to stay**

Wan-Bissaka will surely now stay in Manchester, with his displays in place of the injured Dalot something of a renaissance for the 25-year-old, who had looked down and out under the Dutchman.

Indeed, he looks better than ever at Old Trafford, with an incredible goal-saving tackle in his last outing against Crystal Palace seeing the recipient of the last-ditch attempt – former teammate Wilfried Zaha – say (as quoted by [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21094055/man-utd-bissaka-crystal-palace-zaha/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=sunfootballtwitter&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1674126464)): “Any other player \[and we could’ve won it at the end\]. As I’m running through I had a look back, a little look back, and I thought oh my god it’s Aaron.

“He’s the only one that can do the scoop tackle. It was a great tackle and I can’t say anything else about it.”

Ultimately, with Dalot injured and no return date set (as per [MEN](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-injury-news-arsenal-26032663)), Wan-Bissaka’s chances of leaving look minuscule at present, and the defender himself has probably had a change of heart given his minutes and form of late.
