ODD WAN OUT
Man Utd have put Aaron Wan-Bissaka on transfer list and will allow him to leave in summer, claims Paul Parker
AARON WAN-BISSAKA could reportedly be on the way out of Manchester United this summer.
Former Red Devils full-back Paul Parker suggested Wan-Bissaka has been transfer-listed and believes it is a 'shame' that things have not worked out for the ex-Crystal Palace defender at Old Trafford.

Wan-Bissaka, 24, arrived at United from Selhurst Park for £50million in 2019 but he has since struggled for form and has recently fallen behind Diogo Dalot in the pecking order.
Speaking to , Parker said: "If it is that way (that he’s transfer listed), it's a shame."
"But the bonus for him is that he has gone and done it. He has been there and he has done it, so experience-wise, he'll be a better person after being there, as long as he keeps his head right, and not take it as a negative.
"Because the negative could have been if he had turned it down, saying he was content playing for Crystal Palace.”

Parker, 57, believes that a lack of consistency at Man United has scuppered Wan-Bissaka's development.
He added: "“It's just a shame that his tenure at Manchester United has been in a very, very unstable time for him.
"So he hasn't been able to build any confidence or pattern of play and just get close to anything like a structure in his game, playing with someone in front of him on a regular basis.
"Like me when I played, I had Andrei Kanchelskis in front of me.

"He never had that opportunity.”
Parker revealed that he was a huge fan of 'fantastic' Wan-Bissaka at Palace, but playing for United is a different thing entirely.
He continued: "I was a big fan of his when he was at Crystal Palace, but I was looking at him as a defender and I just thought he was fantastic.
"When he did go forward at Palace, he was OK, because he used to play as a winger.
“But what the likes of Crystal Palace, then under Roy Hodgson, wanted from a full-back, compared to Manchester United were different.
“In that sense, Manchester United took him on as a defender.
"They like what he did defending, and then they tried to throw him into another role as full-back and he isn't equipped to do that."
