CRYSTAL PALACE are open to bringing Aaron Wan-Bissaka back to the club in a bid to end his Manchester United nightmare.
The right-back is not part of Erik ten Hag’s plans for the season having struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford since his £45million move from Selhurst Park in 2019.
Palace chiefs have discussed the possibility of bringing the academy graduate, who left for a club-record fee, back to south London this summer.
While they would consider a deal, the Eagles are waiting for a final and firm decision over price and whether Manchester United would either let Wan-Bissaka leave on a loan or permanent deal.
The 24-year-old started 20 games in the Premier League last season but struggled to get into the side once Ralf Rangnick replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and has not featured yet this term – despite United’s desperate start.
Ten Hag has lost his first two games in charge, defeated 2-1 by Brighton on the opening day before being thumped 4-0 at Brentford last weekend.

The Dutchman would need to bring in a replacement at right-back were Wan-Bissaka allowed to leave given he is currently the only cover for first choice Diogo Dalot.
Patrick Vieira, the Palace manager, currently has both Joel Ward and Nathaniel Clyne to choose between at right-back, while Nathan Ferguson could be an option if he can stay fit.
While Vieira has options in the position, none are considered long term given the age of both Ward and Clyne, meaning a move could happen if United are open to it and the fee is considered good value for Palace.
Palace have already added four new faces this summer with Chris Richards, Cheick Doucoure, Malcolm Ebiowei and Sam Johnston all arriving.
