Fans are calling for Ashley Young's head in unison and United had reportedly prioritized the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka who is one of the finest young right-backs in the Premier League. However, with Wilfried Zaha hinting at a departure, the Eagles will try their best to stop Wan-Bissaka from leaving in the same transfer window as it will be a double blow for them.
Manchester United are looking at Kieran Tripper as an alternative and they believe that Spurs will be open to selling the 28-year-old since Pochettino is expected to be entrusted with funds in order to reshape his squad.
