With his contract set to expire at the end of this season, sources close to the club revealed Erik ten Hag was ready to tie down the 26-year-old with a new contract.
Meanwhile, the club were already locked in contract renewal talks early this season but later halted the process to focus on league action.
LCSoccerHub understands Erik ten Hag is still fixing the bugs in Man United squad with some high-profile and top-earning flops more likely to leave.
High-earners such as Raphael Varane are facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford at the end of the season.
Varane’s contract is due to expire this season and the club have decided not to trigger the one-year extension clause on his deal.
As per The Sun, United are intent on keeping the 2018 World Cup winner despite not renewing his contract but want to peg down his £375,000 weekly wages.
Out-of-favor former Ajax star Donny van de Beek has been released off the wage books with a loan move to Eintracht Frankfurt.
United are also set to take a bleather from footing 100% of Jadon Sancho’s wages with talks ongoing to offload him to his former club Borussia Dortmund on a loan deal with a buy option.
Other Man United players, who have fallen out of favor, are expected to leave but Wan-Bissaka is set to stay put with the Old Trafford club.
The former Crystal Palace defender has impressed under Erik ten Hag. He made 19 Premier League appearances for the club last season.
This season, he has racked up 11 caps for the club despite his injury setback. Unlike the top-earning flops, Wan-Bissaka earns £90,000 weekly at Manchester United and has always impressed on his shift, hence the decision to extend his contract.
According to Daily Mail, United triggered Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s contract early this week to buy time for a full contract renewal talks with the player.
