Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka must be the number one transfer target for West Ham boss David Moyes in January.

The Manchester Evening News claims that Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag wants to sell the 24-year-old in the January transfer window.

West Ham manager David Moyes tried to bring the Man United right-back to the London Stadium from Old Trafford on deadline day in the summer.

He failed to do that in the end, and ever since, we have really struggled in the right-back department, with Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson having gone backwards.

Signing Wan-Bissaka would be an absolute no-brainer for West Ham, especially if we could pick him up for a reasonable fee.

Manchester United could be prepared to move the 24-year-old on from Old Trafford for as little as £10 million according to the Daily Mail, in order to make way for a new top-class right-back.

It seems as though the Hammers could have a real chance to sign AWB, with Ten Hag recently highlighting how he needs two top-class right-backs at Man United.

And now it seems as though the Premier League giants are ready to move the Croydon-born ace on…

For just £10 million, Moyes cannot go wrong by signing the 24-year-old.

Wan-Bissaka joined Manchester United three years ago from Crystal Palace for around £50 million (Independent).

The 24-year-old possesses blistering pace. And that recovery speed would enable us to push further up the pitch, which ties in perfectly with Moyes saying that he wants his team to become more of a possession-based side.

If you are to do that, you need real recovery pace at the back and AWB possesses that in abundance.

The Manchester United right-back is an exceptional defender and is one of the very best tacklers around.

Jamie Carragher once called Wan-Bissaka the best defender in e world in one-on-one situations (The Mirror). Meanwhile, The Athletic describe him as ‘explosive’.

We really think that David Moyes should make an attempt to bring Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham in the January transfer window.

Selling AWB for £10 million would represent a massive loss for Manchester United, but if Ten Hag is so desperate to move him on, it’s better than allowing his contract down and losing him for nothing in 2024.

And West Ham have to at least ask the question by making an official offer for Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka before a bidding war ensues.
