West Ham line up bid for resurgent Man United star

West Ham United are said to be keen on landing Manchester United star.

West Ham United are reportedly monitoring the situation of Wan Bissaka and could place a bid for him during the summer transfer window. 

The 25-year-old moved to Manchester United from Crystal Palace in 2019 but has struggled to justify his £50 million price tag. 

He has returned to the fray this season after he was previously underutilized; however, he is still behind Diogo Dalot in the right-back position, and a move out of Old Trafford could be on the cards.

West Ham keeping tabs on Wan Bissaka

The former Crystal Palace right-back is said to be a transfer target of the Hammers, according to Football Insider.

Wan Bissaka has struggled to establish his place as a starting right back since making the half-a-hundred-million-pound move from Selhurst Park in 2019. 

The defender was said to be set for an exit from Manchester United during the January transfer window; however, due to an injury crisis in defensive positions for the Red Devils, he was kept on.

His fortunes have slightly improved, and he has made 23 appearances this season, competing with Dalot for a starting berth in the right-back position. However, he could finally move away from the club in the summer, with West Ham keenly interested alongside his former club, Crystal Palace, who, according to reports, have repeatedly tried to bring him back to Selhurst Park.

Man United renew another fullback

As previously reported, Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has agreed to a contract extension with the Red Devils until 2027. Shaw penned a new deal with the Red Devils that will see him spend up to 13 years with Manchester United if he reaches the end of his current deal.

Shaw joined Manchester United in 2014 as the most expensive teenager in Premier League history after a £30 million move from Southampton and has established himself as one of the most important players in the club.
