Manchester United are planning to infringe on Tottenham’s transfer plans if Aaron Wan-Bissaka leaves Old Trafford this summer.
The Red Devils are willing to sell the Londoner this summer as he enters the final 12 months of his contract, and are encouraging bids.
West Ham are keen to sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and TBR Football are aware that talks have already taken place between the Hammers and Manchester United.
Now, those at Old Trafford have shortlisted a player Tottenham want, as they prepare for a change in the right-back department…
Manchester United want Vanderson despite Tottenham approach
A story from Sky Sports now claims that Manchester United have shortlisted Vanderson as a replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Sky Sports believe the Red Devils are even in a position to act quickly in search of a replacement if a suitable offer arrives for the Englishman, whether it be from West Ham or another side.
It comes after UOL revealed that Tottenham have already approached Vanderson – with Ange Postecoglou in need of a new option on the right of defence amid AC Milan’s push to sign Emerson Royal.
The 23-year-old made 20 Ligue 1 appearances for Monaco last season, scoring three goals while also providing one assist.
A story from Give Me Sport claims that Monaco want £30m to sell Vanderson this summer.
Race to sell
Essentially, whoever sells their existing right-back first has a better chance of signing Vanderson.
If Manchester United can find a buyer for Wan-Bissaka, it sounds as if the Red Devils will move quickly for the Brazilian, based on what Sky Sports have reported.
However, Tottenham – having already made contact with Vanderson – could secure the South American’s future instead, if AC Milan speed up their pursuit of Emerson.
Effectively, it is a race to sell Wan-Bissaka and Emerson, although both Premier League clubs would be wise to strike a verbal agreement with Vanderson now, so talks can immediately move onto agreeing a fee with Monaco should an opening emerge in their respective right-back departments.
