Manchester United chiefs reportedly persuaded Erik ten Hag to make a U-turn on selling Aaron Wan-Bissaka after bending to his wishes over three players in the transfer window.
Ten Hag was prepared to offload Wan-Bissaka before the deadline with Crystal Palace keen to re-sign the full-back for a cut-price £10million fee or on loan. United were reluctant to accept such a huge loss on a player they bought for £50m in 2019 but conceded he was not part of Ten Hag's plans.
However, transfer chief John Murtough convinced the Dutch coach to keep Wan-Bissaka and give him another opportunity to prove his worth as United opted against signing a replacement.
