Norwich City v Manchester United - Premier League

#4 Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Aaron Wan-Bissaka played the last 2 games as a wingback and had the security of an extra defender behind him. As Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reverted to a four-man backline, Wan-Bissaka had to be a little more alert at the back.

The Englishman had a quiet start to the game but soon returned to his element. Wan-Bissaka found a lot of room on the right to run into and he ventured forward at every opportunity, building a good rapport with Daniel James. While his contribution in the final third was lacking, the Englishman was near perfect in defense.

Wan-Bissaka performed brilliantly at the back, coming inside quite often to make crucial last-ditch tackles. He did pick up a yellow card in the first half for a rash challenge, but apart from that, the Englishman rarely put a foot wrong.

He was brilliant with his positioning, thwarting Norwich counter-attacks time and again. His alertness at the back was essential as United managed to hold on for the win.

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.

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.
