Man Utd star Aaron Wan-Bissaka responds to critics of his attacking play
Aaron Wan-Bissaka admits he is far from the finished article amid the criticism he has received over his attacking contributions.
The 23-year-old joined United 18 months ago and has firmly established himself as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first choice right-back and cemented his reputation as one of the best one-on-one defender’s in the Premier League.
While the uncompromising full-back has few obvious defensive flaws in his game, the former Crystal Palace star is not in the same league, when it comes to the more glamorous side of the game, as the likes of England rivals Reece James and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
United were understood to have been monitoring the likes of Norwich City’s Max Aarons and Atletico Madrid’s Kieran Tripper during the January transfer window with Solskjaer conscious of Wan-Bissaka’s attacking deficiencies
Wan-Bissaka, who scored his second goal of the season in Tuesday’s 9-0 thrashing of Southampton, insists he has been working diligently on that area of his game and is refusing to get too bogged down with statistics.
He said: ‘That’s why I came to this club. This club is capable of helping me with that. I want to become a better player every year.
‘I don’t really focus on statistics at the time, but at the end of the season I look back and see if it’s better than the previous season, and the season before that.
‘There is always pressure for every player who moves clubs when it comes to what a new club expects and how you settle in.
‘But with this club it all came in one, I knew there was pressure.
‘As a kid all you can do at a club like this is play week in, week out. The main thing was to play without fear and be myself, and the rest would be blocked out.’
