Manchester United officially announced that Raphael Varane will leave at the end of the season, and so far two players have confirmed their departure this summer, the other is Anthony Martial, who is also out of contract. But United are sure to see more departures this summer, with a sizable purge in the works. According to the latest news from the British media "The Sun", Wan-Bissaka will also leave Manchester United this summer. It is reported that Manchester United have even printed Aaron Wan-Bissaka holding a commemorative T-shirt of the League Cup winner, ready to bid farewell to the England full-back. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has one year left on his contract, but United are willing to sell him at a discount. The original transfer fee was £45 million, and now they may lower their asking price to around £20 million.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka's departure this summer is a possibility, and one of the most obvious signs is that his contract is about to expire, but there is no rumor of a contract extension.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka was one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's blockbuster signings in charge of Manchester United, along with Harry Maguire in the summer window, both of whom are seen as the cornerstone of United's homegrown youth. And these two players have indeed played a role in a short period of time after joining, raising the level of Manchester United's defense by more than one notch. Maguire is the only one in the defense of high-altitude balls, "big heads, big heads, rain is not worried". And Wan-Bissaka's single defense ability on the wing is world-class, especially the tackle, "Forklift" and "Spider-Man" are his nicknames.
With Suo Shuai's dismissal from class halfway, the fate of the two also took a turn. Later, interim coach Rangnick attached great importance to the assist ability of the wing-back, and the shortcomings of Wan-Bissaka's defensive strength and weak attack began to be exposed. After that, Dalot was firmly in the spot, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka had to find playing time in the rotation. With Ten Hag in charge, Diogo Dalot was still entrusted with the task and the Portuguese full-back's quality has improved significantly. But Wan-Bissaka's position is still awkward, his offensive improvement has been limited, his defence is not as solid as when he first joined, and his poor positional sense has left him questionable.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has made 20 appearances and 18 starts in the league so far, but most of them have been at left-back. It is conceivable that once Luke Shaw returns from injury, or a new left-back is brought in the summer window, Aaron Wan-Bissaka's position will be further marginalized and his departure is not out of the question. His ability is very useful in the middle and lower reaches of the team, which mainly play defensive counterattacks, and returning to Crystal Palace is indeed a good choice, and the price of about 20 million is acceptable.
The fourth player who is set to leave Manchester United has also been confirmed, and he is Amrabat. According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are increasingly unlikely to activate the £21.4 million buy-out clause in Amrabat's contract, having already paid Fiorentina a loan fee of £8.5 million.
As another veteran of Ten Hag's family that brought to Manchester United, Amrabat has the lowest presence. He has made 27 appearances and 14 starts this season, including eight in 19 league appearances, but has been a guest at left-back. Even in his familiar midfield role, Amrabat struggled. He's slow and he's struggling in the Premier League, so it's unlikely that United will buy him out. Amrabat is reported to have attracted the attention of Saudi Arabian teams, who could head to the Saudi league after the end of the season. In addition to Saudi Arabia, Amrabat is also likely to return to Serie A.
In short, after the new management is confirmed, United will certainly focus on accountability after a bad season. In addition to a number of players leaving, Ten Hag is also likely to leave with a burden, as he has never publicly expressed his support for him. The decision on whether to change managers could be revealed as soon as the FA Cup final is over, so we'll have to wait and see.
