Manchester City 1-2 Manchester United: 5 players who were brilliant for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side

4. Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Manchester City v Manchester United - Premier League

The Englishman had his task cut out against the might of City, especially at Etihad, but he had every reason to back himself ahead of the game. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been one of United’s most consistent performers since making the move to Old Trafford in the summer. The Englishman would have been excited to make his debut in the Manchester Derby, but he also knew he had to deal with the cunning Raheem Sterling on the night.

Wan-Bissaka kept a close eye on his countryman for the entire game, ensuring that Sterling posed very little threat to the United backline and had a quiet game. The former Crystal Palace defender did not just defend his position, he even helped out his teammates, covering on numerous occasions for his center backs. His last ditched tackles and positional awareness ensured that very little went past him in the entire game.

Even though the Englishman was partly at fault for the City goal, it was the only mistake Wan-Bissaka committed in the entire game. He was crucial in the last few minutes after City reduced the deficit and his interceptions coupled with his clearances helped United secure 3 points.
