AARON WAN-BISSAKA reportedly appeared in the Manchester United directors’ box last night – despite being named on the bench.
The right-back was listed among the substitutes for United’s 1-0 Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad.
But, according to MEN, the 24-year-old showed up in the directors’ box just before kick-off.

That’s despite Wan-Bissaka, a natural right-back, being named among the substitutes.
