Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has urged Erik ten Hag to dump flop defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who arrived from Crystal Palace on a £50m deal and is on salary around £90,000 a week.
Sheringham told OLBG via Metro that the 20-time English champions should cut their losses and get rid of the English underdog as soon as possible.
Sheringham said: “If Manchester United can get money for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, they should make a deal.”
“He has fallen out of favor and has struggled to come to Manchester United in a difficult period.”
“It didn’t look like they’ve worked on improving the back four and the defensive unit since he’s been there.”
It is hard to argue with Sheringham’s point of view regarding Wan-Bissaka. He lost his place in the team to Diogo Dalot, who has made it more than his own and is growing more and more with each passing game.
Ten Hag himself has almost made it clear that the 24-year-old is not in his plans, insisting on multiple occasions that the club desperately need another full-back to replace Dalot, who is the only outfield player to start each year. game since the Dutch coach arrived at Old Trafford.
Beyond Wan-Bissaka, the former striker doubled down on his earlier statement that embattled star Cristiano Ronaldo should have left the Theater of Dreams in the summer.
“If Ronaldo is not 100% committed to the cause, it is not good for the rest of the team, regardless of the player,” he said.
Sheringham also spoke about United’s prospects this season, predicting where the team could end up at the end of the campaign.
The 56-year-old commented that while it was impossible for the Red Devils to win the league, he sees the team’s chances of finishing within an automatic Champions League spot.
Sheringham becomes the latest United legend to back the team in achieving this feat after Gary Neville also said he was of the opinion United would usurp Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool to finish in the top four.
