are unlikely to sign a right-back this summer after Aaron Wan-Bissaka convinced he has a future at the club and other positions are being prioritised.
The 25-year-old former defender looked to be out of Ten Hag’s plans when the Dutchman took over at Old Trafford, but things changed in the second half of last season.
Wan-Bissaka did not make a start until 27 December but ended the season with 16 top flight starts and 34 appearances in total across all competitions.
There will be competition with Diogo Dalot again at right-back, and with Ten Hag comfortable with both players, the position will not be a priority in the transfer window.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano told that there had been doubts over Wan-Bissaka, but there are at least three positions that the Manchester United hierarchy want to resolve before they turn to right-back.
A new goalkeeper and central striker are the two key roles that must be filled this summer, with Inter Milan’s Andre Onana expected to take the gloves at Old Trafford, but which forward will arrive is less clear.
Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund has been heavily linked with a move, while United also want Harry Kane but see a deal with Spurs as very unlikely.
Romano reports that after goalkeeper and centre-forward, the Red Devils are also looking at centre-backs as they look for cover for first choice pairing Rafael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
United do have a number of other central defenders but are trying to get rid of the likes of Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly this summer, who are deemed not to have a future in Ten Hag’s plans.
