Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka could've made a free transfer move to Coventry City, it has been revealed.

According to Tommy Widdrington, former Coventry head of recruitment, the former Crystal Palace fullback almost joined on a free transfer and a deal was close to being completed.

He told BristolLive: ''There's some there that come out of scope.

''A great example is Aaron Wan-Bissaka, I tried to get him on a free to Coventry and was close, really close.

''But then he got into the Palace team due to two freak injuries.''
