Ten Hag appeared to feel the same on his appointment last summer and Wan-Bissaka didn’t make an appearance until December last term.

Wan-Bissaka could sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from January 1st if his situation continues.
But it’s claimed United will trigger a 12-month extension clause in his deal before sitting down to discuss an extension.
