ERIK'S EPIC FAIL ‘Terrible decision’ – Man Utd fans fume as Ten Hag sells highly-rated wonderkid in permanent transfer

MANCHESTER UNITED fans blasted the "terrible decision" to sell a highly-rated wonderkid.

Isak Hansen-Aaroen, 19, completed a permanent exit from Old Trafford on deadline day.

Isak Hansen-Aaroen has left Manchester United for Werder Bremen

The Norway Under-21 midfielder signed a deal with Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.

Hansen-Aaroen had just five months left of his Manchester United contract.

And though the Red Devils wanted to tie him down under a new package until 2028, they were unwilling to match his unrealistic wage demands over an extension.

It is understood the deal with Bremen includes a transfer fee plus possible add-ons.

There is also a sell-on fee included if and when Hansen-Aaroen moves on from the Weserstadion.

And United will have the chance to match any bids that come in.

Hansen-Aaroen joined United from boyhood club Tromso in 2020 amid much fanfare after making his senior debut aged 15.

However, he failed to make the break into the Red Devils' first team.

Erik ten Hag was willing to let him leave as he did not see a clear pathway into his senior squad anytime soon - unlike fellow teenagers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.

But supporters were less than impressed - and made their frustrated feelings known on Twitter.

One fan replied: "Terrible decision."

Another fumed: "I can't seem to get over selling him and Garner while McTominay keeps starting all games, I can't wait for DOF appointment so that they guy reigns in these stupid decisions made to sell such good players."

A third added: "Wtf is this club doing getting rid of talents like this. Do they not remember what happened with Pogba? We gonna end up buying them back for so much more."
