The Lowdown: Irons’ summer enquiry
da cassino: The 24-year-old looked set to be leaving Old Trafford over the summer after falling down the pecking order, with there being serious interest from his former side and Premier League rivals Crystal Palace.
The Irons were also name-checked and were even believed to have made an enquiry regarding his availability before the deadline, though Erik ten Hag was adamant that his man was not for sale.
The Latest: West Ham targeting Wan-Bissaka
According to The Athletic (via Claret and Hugh), West Ham ‘could make another move’ for Wan-Bissaka after learning that he might ‘be available for transfer’ in the New Year.
It’s reported that the right-back is ‘keen on a return’ to London after ‘struggling’ to take to life in Manchester.

The Verdict: Don’t do it…
Whilst Wan-Bissaka is a household name, he’s suffered a serious lack of game time of late, so David Moyes should avoid pursuing this deal any further.
The Croydon-born ‘monster’, as hailed by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, has only played four minutes of football this season, and would therefore likely need a considerable amount of time to get up to full speed.
The Scot needs someone who would already be match fit and raring to go, and for the unrealistic valuation that would be put on his head by United, it’s simply not worth it.
