Despite his re-emergence as a starter at Manchester United, it appears as if Wolves nonetheless have lots of interest in Aaron Wan-Bissaka this month, and the right-back might clear up an enormous downside in Julen Lopetegui‘s aspect.
Ahead of the January switch window, Wolves have been linked with signing the previous Crystal Palace defender, who had misplaced his beginning spot below Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
However, the harm picked up by Diogo Dalot on the World Cup pressured the United boss to utilise the right-back towards Burnley just below a month in the past, and his positive show in their 2-0 Carabao Cup win (7.6 Sofascore score) has seen him maintain his place in the staff for every of the following 5 league video games, with United dropping simply two factors in that point.
It may show troublesome to prise him away from Old Trafford, as he has averaged a formidable 6.95 score from WhoScored for his performances in the highest flight, which is bettered solely by Ruben Neves in Wolves’ squad.
Speaking to Football FanCast, journalist Dean Jones recommended that the Molineux outfit might nonetheless look to carry in Wan-Bissaka throughout this month’s switch window.
He stated in relation to the United defender: “We know there’s been interest from Wolves and Palace. If United sign a new right-back, if they can find the right fit, it might become doable. But without that coming onto the table, I really don’t see how they can let Wan-Bissaka go at the moment.”
Lopetegui might be praying that United can discover a new right-back to compete with Dalot this month, as Wan-Bissaka’s spectacular type means that he could possibly be an enormous assist to the Old Gold in their battle towards relegation if he involves Molineux, particularly given their issues at right-back.
Wolves’ principal choices in that position, Nelson Semedo and Jonny, have each struggled for constant type this season, averaging disappointing scores of 6.43 and 6.54 respectively from WhoScored and contributing to just one objective between them.
Lopetegui has promoted Dexter Lembikisa to the first-team squad however the 19-year-old – who has simply 4 senior appearances – hardly appears to be like able to be an everyday in the Premier League, notably in such a high-pressure state of affairs on the backside of the league.
Therefore, whereas it could possibly be a troublesome deal to tug off given Wan-Bissaka’s “fantastic” current performances – in the phrases of talkSPORT commentator Micky Gray – Lopetegui ought to do all that he can to try to carry the 25-year-old to Molineux this month.
