Scorn and venom have been poured over the performances of Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The former Crystal Palace defender is certainly enduring the most testing, unpleasant and dumbfounding period ever since his £50million move from Selhurst Park in 2019.
Roy Keane has regularly derided the 23-year-old’s performances throughout the campaign, often following up justified criticism with overly simplistic taunts of him “not being good enough”. The former United captain may do well to remember a time when Wan-Bissaka was not only deemed good enough for the Red Devils, but he was often regarded as the ‘best one-on-one defender as a full-back in the world’.
Those were the bold words of former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, after the United right-back silenced the contributions of Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling in a way most defenders would not be able to dream off. But how have things gone so wrong for Wan-Bissaka, whose performances have crumpled along with his confidence?
