Manchester United are heading for a summer transfer revolution, with a significant turnover in their playing staff.
It has already been confirmed that Raphael Varane will depart Old Trafford in the summer with Anthony Martial set to follow after another injury-hit and disappointing campaign.
But Man Utd are also braced for a third player to leave the club, with preparations well underway to celebrate the career of Aaron Wan-Bissaka with the Red Devils.

The Sun reports that Wan-Bissaka will say goodbye to his club for the last five years after Wednesday’s Premier League match with Newcastle at Old Trafford.
It is claimed that T-shirts have even been printed with the image of him lifting the Carabao Cup for the players to wear in his honour at the end of the match.
The 26-year-old joined Man Utd in 2019, but following a €55 million transfer from Crystal Palace, he has struggled to justify that fee.

Wan-Bissaka to leave Man Utd
With a year still left to run on his deal, he has found game time increasingly difficult to come back thanks to the rise of Diogo Dalot in the right-back role.
Consequently, the former England U21 international’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) has dropped to €17.4m – around a quarter of what he was once worth.
In 187 Man Utd appearances, Wan-Bissaka earned a reputation as being an excellent one-on-one defender but equally has lacked the attacking qualities of a modern full-back. This is underlined by the fact he has only two goals and 13 assists during his time at Old Trafford.
He has been linked with a move back to Crystal Palace, with the possibility he could be included in a deal that would see France U21 winger Michael Olise move in the opposite direction.
United, though, will make a substantial loss on Wan-Bissaka.
