The full-back originally represented the African nation in one match for their Under-20 side back in 2015 before switching to England&#8217;s youth setup.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to earn a call-up to England&#8217;s senior squad ahead of Euro 2020 qualifiers against Kosovo and Bulgaria, but was forced to withdraw from the squad due to injury. Wan-Bissaka has failed to make his way back into Gareth Southgate&#8217;s thinking with the likes of Kieran Trippier, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James and Kyle Walker all fighting for the starting spot on the right side of defence.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Athletic, Wan-Bissaka has now been approached by DR Congo to be part of their squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in the New Year. The news could be significant for United boss Erik ten Hag, who already has four players that may decide to play in the major tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Andre Onana, Amad, Sofyan Amrabat and Hannibal have all represented their countries at international level and are eligible to be selected for the competition in the New Year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5081331.jpg?r=1700746584620\"><\/p>\n<p>Wan-Bissaka would potentially be the fifth player to depart Old Trafford for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. The 25-year-old is of Congolese descent through his father and has reportedly been considering switching allegiances.<\/p>\n<p>But DR Congo head coach Sebastien Desabre stated recently that the country would not push Wan-Bissaka if he didn&#8217;t truly want to represent the African nation. Desabre said in September: \u201cHe\u2019s a nice player as you know but we won\u2019t run after the players.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd and Chelsea at risk of missing out on Guehi as Tottenham &#8216;ready bid'[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd could be using Joao Neves as a smokescreen for a different signing[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>England receive Mourinho verdict with FA chiefs \u2018ready\u2019 for Southgate switch[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a lot of players who worked very hard for us to qualify for Afcon.
