AARON WAN-BISSAKA could miss the start of Manchester United’s pre-season after ignoring club advice and flying to Dubai.
The right-back travelled to the holiday hotspot at the end of United’s season but could now fall foul of Government rules and be forced to quarantine for 14 days on his return to the UK.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka could miss the start of Man Utd’s pre-season after flying to Dubai
The right-back ignored club advice and could now be forced to quarantine for 14 days on his return to the UK
The 22-year-old is due back in the country before the end of this week, according to the Mail.
But pictures the Englishman posted of him working out in the sun in front of Dubai’s famous skyline will anger United staff.
‘Elite sportsperson’ protocols allow players to return to the UK without quarantining.
But those rules only apply when stars are officially training or competing with their clubs – which Wan-Bissaka is not.
United are due back for pre-season next week but they are likely to be without Wan-Bissaka.
The Government’s official website explains the ex-Crystal Palace star had to provide a negative coronavirus test result within 96 hours of arriving in Dubai.
And he will also be tested by the Red Devils on his return to England.
United staff informed all the players which locations they could travel to without having to quarantine on their return.
But United’s first choice right-back appears to have ignored it.
Earlier today, United released some positive news when they confirmed Dean Henderson has signed a new five-year £120,000-a-week deal.
But they are also bogged down in the Harry Maguire saga.
Their captain was found guilty of aggravated assault, attempted bribery and resisting arrest in Mykanos yesterday.
But he was awarded a retrial after an appeal today and United will keep the 27-year-old as their captain for now as a result.
