Man Utd fullback Wan-Bissaka ready to commit to DR Congo

Manchester United fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka is ready to commit his international future to DR Congo.

Wan-Bissaka will snub England and opt to represent DR Congo at international level if Gareth Southgate doesn't pick him in his upcoming squads, reports the Athletic.

Should Wan-Bissaka miss out on England selection for the March World Cup qualifying triple-header, there is believed to be an increasing likelihood he will commit his future to DR Congo.

The 23-year-old, who was born in England but is of Congolese descent, has represented both countries at youth level.

Wan-Bissaka played one game for DR Congo's Under 20s in 2015 but then represented England at the same level and has also played for the Under 21s.

Southgate is set to name his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers on March 18, and soon Wan-Bissaka could slip through England's fingers.
