#1 Aaron Wan-Bissaka comes of age

Is he the best right-back in the country?
Is he the best right-back in the country?

In the summer, Manchester United spent a combined £130million on Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire. It’s fair to say that the former has been a revelation for the Red Devils. The former Crystal Palace man has completely owned the RB spot, ensuring that it’s no longer a weak spot for the club. Today, the 22-year-old came of age and showed his true potential. Up against his greatest test thus far, the youngster excelled.

After a few early scares, the right-back pocketed the country’s best winger in Raheem Sterling. In a world-class performance, Wan-Bissaka made 5 tackles, 7 clearances and 2 vital interceptions. He did this against the best attack in the country with only 28.1% possession.

For Gareth Southgate, he has immense quality in the RB department with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, Reece James and Wan-Bissaka all fighting for the England shirt. After today’s performance, the United defender may be up there on the list.
