Man Utd make U-turn in Wan-Bissaka contract talks
Current deal expires in 2024
Has a 12-month extension clause

WHAT HAPPENED? The Red Devils were convinced that they would offer the full-back a new deal right after the summer transfer window closed but now, according to the Daily Mail, the club has changed their mind.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Wan-Bissaka's current contract expires in 2024 but he has a 12-month extension clause in his existing. For now, United are planning to trigger the extension clause and keep the player until 2025 rather than offering him a new long-term deal.

WHAT NEXT? The 25-year-old English defender recently resumed training after he suffered a hamstring injury last month. If the Red Devils do not trigger the extension clause by this year, the player will be free to negotiate with foreign clubs from January and could leave for free in the summer.
