\nManchester United have reportedly identified Barcelona star Jules Kounde as a potential replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, whose Old Trafford future looks increasingly uncertain.<\/p>\n
The right-back position could become an area of the pitch Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS address, especially in the event that Wan-Bissaka departs the club.<\/p>\n
The Englishman’s contract is set to expire in 2025 after United triggered a one-year extension clause on his current terms.<\/p>\n
Diogo Dalot has cemented his status as a nailed starter at right-back with his consistently impressive performances during a season in which the Red Devils have been underwhelming and very disappointing. In recent games, Erik ten Hag has had to deploy Wan-Bissaka at left-back, partly due to Dalot’s form and also due to the injuries suffered by Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.<\/p>\n
Wan-Bissaka has been linked to a number of clubs both in England and abroad. West Ham and Crystal Palace are known admirers of the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n
More recently, a report<\/a> covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Inter Milan also like Wan-Bissaka and would be open to adding him to their ranks in a swap deal involving long-term Ten Hag target – Denzel Dumfries – heading the other way.<\/p>\n It’s understood that Wan-Bissaka is open to the transfer and trying a different experience in Italy.<\/p>\n In addition to Dumfries, United have also been mentioned<\/a> to be in for Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpgong.<\/p>\n According to journalist Rudi Galetti, the 20-time English champions have now added Kounde to their three-man list of right-backs they could sign.<\/p>\n This is not the first time Ten Hag’s side have explored a swoop for Kounde. United rivalled Chelsea for his services a few years ago but he instead ended up joining Barcelona from Sevilla.<\/p>\n It has not been all rosy for the Frenchman at Camp Nou and it’s thought that the Blaugrana, whose financial troubles have been well-documented, would entertain offers for him<\/a>.<\/p>\n Galetti states that Kounde’s versatility is “appreciated a lot” by Old Trafford bosses.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udcad #ManUTD<\/a>, assessments ongoing on the possible Wan Bissaka's replacement.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udccc As told, #Frimpong<\/a> – also followed by Bayern and RMFC – is one of the preferred names.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcc3 #Kounde<\/a> – appreciated a lot for his versatility to play as a CB – and #Dumfries<\/a> also on the #MUFC<\/a>'s list. pic.twitter.com\/Qa5YYPyugk<\/a><\/p>\n — Rudy Galetti (@RudyGaletti) April 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
