According to statistics site Sofascore, defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka was suddenly rated as “Man of the Match”.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka acknowledged before the season started that he had a hunch Erik Ten Hag would let him go. The English defender claims he will work really hard to remain at Old Trafford, though.
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.
