Aaron Wan-Bissaka who is currently Manchester United‘s right-back is reportedly set to snub England as he considers representing the Democratic Republic of Congo instead.
The 23-year-old talented defender, has not yet been capped by England boss Gareth Southgate due to the wealth of options he has in the position and this is a source of worry to Wan-Bissaka.
Again according to The Athletic, the fact that he is continually being overlooked is reportedly making him re-think his England future.
If Wan-Bissaka is not selected in Southgate’s side’s upcoming matches at the end of March, it is thought he will decide to represent Congo.

The former Crystal Palace man played for both England and Congo at youth level but is yet to play senior international football.
He was picked by Southgate for England’s Euro 2020 qualifiers against Kosovo and Bulgaria in August, but pulled out of the squad due to a back injury.
Reports of Wan-Bissaka potentially snubbing England come just one week after 18-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala opted to represent Germany despite featuring for the Three Lions throughout his youth career.
The winger, 17, was born in Stuttgart but spent much of his childhood in England, playing for Chelsea’s academy.
Most recently, he turned out for England Under-21s and scored in November’s 5-0 rout of Albania.
However, an elevation to the senior Germany side is on the cards ahead of next month’s internationals and he has now agreed to represent the 2014 World Cup winners.
