Wan-Bissaka compared with Arsenal defender
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been compared with Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko as he continues to shine for Manchester United this season.
Having totted-up only four competitive minutes before the World Cup break, Wan-Bissaka has started the last seven Premier League games with United picking up 16 points from a possible 21 in those matches. In fact, their solitary defeat in that sequence came against the table-topping Gunners.
