Man Utd make 'contact' with Man City academy graduate as wing-back is eyed

Manchester United are back in action this weekend with an away trip to AFC Bournemouth. Erik ten Hag’s side are currently sat in 6th place in the Premier League table. 

They drew 2-2 at home to Liverpool last time out with Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo on the scoresheet. Here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours coming out of Old Trafford…

Defender on radar

United are interested in a summer swoop for former Manchester City defender Tosin Adarabioyo at Fulham. According to a report by TEAMtalk, the Red Devils have made ‘contact’ with the player’s club already as they look to lure him back up north in the next transfer window. 

However, Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be in the frame as they hunt for defensive reinforcements under Ange Postecoglou. Adarabioyo, 26, is out of contract at the end of June and is yet to put pen-to-paper on an extension meaning he is due to become a free agent as things stand. 

Wing-back targeted

United wing-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is being linked with a switch to Inter Milan at the end of this campaign. According to Gazzetta dello Sport (via FcInterNews), the Serie A giants are keeping tabs on his situation and are said to be admirers of the ex-England youth international. 

Wan-Bissaka, 26, joined the Red Devils back in 2019 after rising up through the academy ranks at Crystal Palace. He has since made 181 appearances for his current club in all competitions, 21 of which have come this term, but his long-term future is up in the air.
