​Manchester United will allow Aaron Wan-Bissaka​ and Eric Bailly to leave the club this summer, with incoming boss Erik ten Hag deciding he does NOT need the defenders. 

Wan-Bissaka and Bailly aren't part of Ten Hag's rebuild, with Man United hoping to sell the pair of defenders in permanent transfers.

Though they won't rule out a loan option - providing it comes with a serious option or obligation to buy, according to Sky Sports and Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United are prepared to let Eric Bailly and Aaron Wan-Bissaka leave this summer. It depends on the proposals but both have chances to leave the club, as expected. 🔴 #MUFC https://t.co/zPgpPklaVc

Wan-Bissaka, who joined the Old Trafford outfit from Crystal Palace for £45 million, lost his place to Diogo Dalot after Ralf Rangnick was appointed.

However, he featured heavily under the previous regime - playing 35 Premier League games in his debut season at the club and 34 league games the following campaign.

As for Bailly, he played just seven games in all competitions last season in an injury-hit campaign.

The Ivorian has been at Man United since 2016, with the 28-year-old deemed surplus to requirements.

Ten Hag's Man United rebuild also consists of drafting in new talent, with the likes of Frenkie De Jong and Lisandro Martinez linked with a move to the Premier League. 

The 52-year-old appears set to include Cristiano Ronaldo in his plans ahead of the 2022/23 season, describing the 37-year-old as a 'giant' player. 

Speaking after Ajax's final game of the season on Sunday, he said: "From tomorrow, my focus will be on United, and I will of course get deep into things there.​​

"What I have to say about it is, the detailed analysis still has to begin, I still have to work with the team, but let me be clear that at United there are a lot of good players around.

"We have to make them function as a team but definitely Ronaldo, he is a giant."

​The Dutchman is expected to watch his new side's final league game of the season and could even take it in from the stands of Selhurst Park.
