Manchester United are set to have a busy January transfer window.
Not only in terms of entries, as the club’s search for strikers heats up, but also in terms of exits.
The Athletic’s Laurie Whitwell reports that the four United players most eligible to leave Old Trafford in January are Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe and Tom Heaton.
Wan-Bissaka has dominated the headlines in recent days, with numerous journalists indicating that the 25-year-old could be on loan in January with several Premier League clubs expressing interest.
West Ham are said to be interested in getting Wan-Bissaka in January.
New Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Julen Lopetegui also wants to bring the United outcast to Molineux as he looks to boost his reign at the club.
Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira has admitted he is a fan of Wan-Bissaka, even saying Eagles fans still love their former star.
Whitwell says Wan-Bissaka came close to leaving last summer, but John Murtough pleaded with Erik ten Hag to give the right-back another chance to prove himself.
Since then, Wan-Bissaka has only played four minutes in the Premier League, and Ten Hag preferred to deploy Diogo Dalot in almost every game for United.
Whitwell comments on Williams: “United are also expected to entertain talks about Brandon Williams, who returned from injury in those games against Cádiz and Real Betis.
Williams was loaned out to Premier League side Norwich City last season and it may be that a permanent transfer now makes more sense, with Ten Hag’s view of the situation being influential.
“Axel Tuanzebe, who had two loan spells at Aston Villa and Napoli last season, is available. But he is currently working on getting back into shape after an injury.”
United could also be open to letting backup goalkeeper Tom Heaton go. Heaton’s role at United diminished with the arrival of Martin Dubravka.
