Chelsea FC v Manchester United - Carabao Cup Round of 16
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.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
