According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has now personally green-lit a ‘high profile’ exit from Old Trafford as news emerges on defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The Lowdown: Red Devils overhaul?
Rangnick, despite all the noise surrounding his future with managers tipped to replace him at the end of 2021/2022, has still had a say when it comes to incomings and outgoings.
Indeed, after shipping out Anthony Martial to Sevilla in January, reports suggested that the German also wanted to offload two other Red Devils stars in Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani for spoiling the mood inside Old Trafford.
Now, sharing an exit update, TEAMtalk have shared news on another player Rangnick wants to cut loose.
The Latest: Rangnick green-lights Wan-Bissaka exit…
According to their sources, United’s right-back is now ‘to be axed’ by the former RB Leipzig boss with Wan-Bissaka now set to be one of the ‘high-profile casualties’ of the summer.
TEAMtalk go on to state that while Rangnick isn’t expected to remain as coach beyond this season, he will take up his ‘advisory role’ with the United hierarchy.
The Verdict: Right call?
Wan-Bissaka has come under scrutiny for his performances at times this season, even despite averaging the joint-fourth most tackles per 90 and second-most interceptions out of United’s squad in the league (WhoScored).
Clearly there is a player with ability though going by the 24-year-old’s plaudits, with Crystal Palace defender Patrick Van Aanholt having waxed lyrical over his former Selhurst Park teammate.
Indeed, the Dutchman called Wan-Bissaka an ‘unbelievable‘ player and ‘better than Trent [Alexander-Arnold]’ at one stage – potentially indicating that he could still have something to offer in a better run of form.
Alas, with Rangnick’s decision apparently made, it will be interesting to see where Wan-Bissaka could depart to in a few months time.
