Wan-Bissaka was a fundamental piece of the Red Devils in the 2019-2020 season. The 22-year-old defender was the player with the most tackles and blocks in the entire league. With just one season at Old Trafford, he became a driven force for United’s defense and a starter within the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s scheme.
Aaron decided to spend his holidays in the United Arab Emirates, which has sparked the Red Devils ire as this puts his return to the club at risk.
The laws of the United Kingdom establish that all travelers must remain isolated for 14 days upon their return to English territory. Wan-Bissaka plans to return on the weekend of September 5, which means that the player will not be able to participate in his team’s preseason preparation and could even miss the first game of the 2020-21 season.
Manchester United had sent their players a guide on the places they could travel to during their holidays and the steps they should take to return safely. The United Arab Emirates was one of the countries that were prohibited by the club.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Wan-Bissaka could face disciplinary action for not following the club’s rules, and it seems that the club bosses are already considering a punishment for the player when he returns to Manchester.
When players travel with the club to compete or train, they are protected by the elite sports person protocol, which exempts them from isolation. But in this case, being a personal trip, Wan-Bissaka must follow the rules established by the British government.
