Cristiano Ronaldo's former Manchester United teammate can join him at Al-Nassr: Report
Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr is reportedly looking forward to signing Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka to bolster their defence. According to the Telegraph, the Saudi Arabian side have shifted their attention to the Englishman after their £20 million offer for Emerson Royal was rejected by Tottenham Hotspur.
The Red Devils recently triggered the option of a one-year extension in Aaron Wan-Bissaka's contract, which means his deal will now run till 2025. Wan-Bissaka joined United in July 2019 from Crystal Palace for a reported transfer fee of €55 million.
Since making the move, the Englishman has made 177 appearances for the Red Devils, bagging two goals and 13 assists. This season, he has made 13 starts from Erik ten Hag's side, and has missed a few games due to a hamstring injury.
