Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s situation at Manchester United is symptomatic of the conundrums hanging over so many of the current squad. Last season, the right-back was one of the first names on the teamsheet.
After keeping Raheem Sterling quiet in a 2-0 win at the Etihad, Jamie Carragher declared that he was the “best one-on-one defender for a full-back in the world.” During this campaign though, Wan-Bissaka has been a shadow of his former self. With erratic defending and poor passing, his development has gone backwards.
Now it is understood that Erik ten Hag is willing to let the 24-year-old go, preferring Diogo Dalot. However, Dalot hasn’t made a particularly convincing case for himself either.
