Solksjaer may switch Wan-Bissaka’s position in pre-season

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly thinking about changing Aaron Wan-Bissaka to another position in pre-season, after two seasons as his most trusted right-back in his team.

Wan-Bissaka is one of only a handful of few United regulars who will not be a part of the international matches this mid-year and will return on schedule for the full pre-season.

The full-back has been a disappointing figure on the flank because of his lack of attacking football. However, he has compensated for his poor finishing by being strong at defending, a quality that has impressed Solskjær and his staff.

Manchester United finished the £50 million signing of Wan-Bissaka in 2019 from Crystal Palace and have assisted him by helping him create assaulting threats down the flank however with the club in the quest for Kieran Trippier, apparently for creating more attacking chances, it is presently being accounted for that the manager is thinking about a change in the position of Wan-Bissaka.

As per The Sun, Solskjaer will attempt to play Wan-Bissaka at the center-back position in pre-season to check whether he can deal with that position. He is viewed as United’s quickest defender and their best tackler, making for uncommon quality required in their backline. He can also use him in a three-man defense system.

Gareth Southgate has disregarded him on various events and England picked four right-backs in his Euro 2020 crew, creating an outrage from fans and pundits.

Manchester United is in the chase for a partner for Harry Maguire and with questions over Victor Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka could end up being capable around there. Pau Torres and Raphael Varane have been connected with a move to Old Trafford however the two players would ask for a big fee.

United still should look for a center-back and sign a world-class center-back if they want to create a team that can compete for titles.
