According to statistics site Sofascore, defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka was suddenly rated as “Man of the Match”.
Before the season began, Aaron Wan-Bissaka admitted he had a feeling he would be dropped from the squad by Erik Ten Hag. However, the English defender also insists he will fight hard to be able to stay at Old Trafford.
After a pre-season effort, Wan-Bissaka was set to start in place of Dalot in the opening Premier League game against Wolves.
Stats site Sofascore rated him as “Player of the Match” with a score of 8.1.
Wan-Bissaka showed comprehensive defensive ability
In defense, Wan-Bissaka has 6 times won in duels.
He also has 2 successful rescues, 2 saves the opponent’s shot, 2 accurate tackles and 2 successful cuts.
This was also a day when Wan-Bissaka showed great offensive support. Specifically, he has up to 3 passes to create opportunities for teammates (key pass). At the same time, he successfully performed 3/4 of the passes.
Wan-Bissaka’s aggressiveness helps Man Utd’s right-wing corridor always be safe.
Not only that, in the context that the home team needed a goal to break the deadlock, Wan-Bissaka had a pass to clear the ground for Raphael Varane to score.
With Wan-Bissaka’s efforts, coach Erik Ten Hag is likely to reconsider Man Utd’s priority order in the right wing corridor.
