Manchester United loanee Axel Tuanzebe has been praised for giving Stoke City "more security" since arriving on loan from the Reds in the January transfer window.
The 25-year-old has made five appearances for the Potters since joining the club on loan for the second half of the season. He has missed a host of matches in recent months through a back injury and hadn't started a league game since November 2021.
Tuanzebe had to wait for his chance under Alex Neil, but he has gone on to make four starts and a sub appearance and has impressed in recent weeks. He has been praised by his central defensive partner Ben Wilmot, who suggested the United man had 'relieved the pressure' on the back-four after they were struggling with injuries.
