Aaron Wan-Bissaka sits in Man Utd directors’ box despite being named on bench for Real Sociedad clash
AARON WAN-BISSAKA reportedly appeared in the Manchester United directors’ box last night – despite being named on the bench.
The right-back was listed among the substitutes for United’s 1-0 Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad.
But, according to MEN, the 24-year-old showed up in the directors’ box just before kick-off.
And he played no part in the game as a controversial Brais Mendez penalty condemned Erik ten Hag’s side to defeat.
Victor Lindelof was shuffled over to right-back when Lisandro Martinez came on at half-time.
That’s despite Wan-Bissaka, a natural right-back, being named among the substitutes.

Wan-Bissaka has played just four minutes of football in all competitions this season.
