Aaron Wan-Bissaka switched from a full-back to a wing-back for the night and had another assured outing for his club. The Englishman ensured that both Christian Pulisic and Marcos Alonso had a quiet day at the office. Wan-Bissaka had 65 touches on the ball and attempted 35 passes with 77% accuracy.

He had a restrained start to the game, where he ventured forward with some caution. But soon enough, Wan-Bissaka was marauding down the right, combining well with James and trying to make things happen.

The Englishman tracked back religiously, attempting four tackles with a 100% success rate. He rarely let anyone pass him through the right and his positioning was immaculate. After Chelsea equalized, Solskjaer changed shape to a back four, and Wan-Bissaka showed no qualms in picking up added responsibilities.

He even ended the game as a part of a three-man backline and helped United stay compact in the dying minutes of the game.
