Manchester United and Barcelona are considering a swap deal involving their right-backs.

The Red Devils are not happy with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Sergino Dest is out of favour at Barca.

According to Sport, United and Barca are now in discussions about swapping the duo in the coming days.

Manager Erik ten Hag at United is happy with the idea, as Dest is a more attacking option in that position.

The fact that Barcelona would want to sign Wan-Bissaka is less clear, as his technical ability is inferior to most modern right-backs.

However, he may be seen as an option as a right-sided centre-back in a 3-4-3 formation, similar to a role that Cesar Azpilicueta would have played had he signed from Chelsea.
