Aaron Wan-Bissaka boasts best tackle success rate since 2017-18 season

The Manchester United full-back is known for his defensive qualities

For Manchester United, Aaron Wan-Bissaka delivered a standout showing as they defeated Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.

The right-back was an important member of Erik ten Hag's team because he both significantly reduced the threat posed by Seagulls ace Kaoru Mitoma and, more importantly, added his own attacking threat. It was a stunning effort by the former Crystal Palace ace, who is battling for his position at United.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has praised Erik Ten Hag for his improvement in playing ahead and for his involvement in the game's offensive phases.

Wan-Bissaka appeared to be set for a move away from Old Trafford before the World Cup as Ten Hag made it known that he preferred Diogo Dalot.

Dalot was a far more appealing alternative for Ten Hag because of his perception of Wan-Bissaka's potential future limitations. The Englishman, though, seized an excellent chance to re-establish himself in the team after Dalot was hurt in Qatar.

Everyone can see how much Wan-Bissaka has improved, and the 25-year-old is now a legitimate competitor with Dalot for a spot in the starting lineup on a regular basis.

Having had an experience of resurrection, the former Crystal Palace player is now just equally much of a forward danger as he is a defending bedrock at the back.

Ten Hag is certain that his full-backs should not be facing up the pitch in a straight line. The focus is on taking up inverted midfield positions when necessary while executing overlapping runs on the outside of the field.

When the summer transfer window opens, a reevaluation may be necessary because this player is one of those who may be traded to create room for the entrance of new hires. The athlete is growing stronger and demonstrating his mettle.

Contrasting to other positions like goalkeeper, midfielder, and striker, the position of right-back is scarcely a key area of the squad that needs rapid attention. For Wan-Bissaka, the sky is the limit given his present course. It is absolutely time for him to reconsider his future.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka boasts the best tackle success rate in the Top five European leagues since the 2017-18 season (100+ attempts).
