Former Manchester United man makes big claim about Aaron Wan-Bissaka after £50m move from Palace

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has what it takes to become a great at Manchester United, following his move from Crystal Palace.

That's the verdict of former Manchester United defender Wes Brown, who has been impressed with the former Palace defender after he made the £50million switch from south London this summer.

Wan-Bissaka has started every Premier League game so far this season for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, and earned a first call up to the senior England squad for the games against Bulgaria and Kosovo, only to withdraw with a back injury.

But Brown has seen enough to believe that Wan-Bissaka will be an important player for Manchester United over the coming years.

He told  Paddy Power : “He’s been fantastic, probably the one signing for United who has been most consistent.

“He’s started every game, he’s got great athleticism and he’s good in the tackle.

“He’s come from Crystal Palace and people wondered if he’d be good enough for Manchester United and already from the first game it looks like he’s stepping up. He’s enjoying it and it’s where he wants to be.

“If he can carry on like that he’s going to be one of the greats in that position.

“He’s only young, he’s level-headed and everything he’s done, tackling, tracking back has been brilliant.

“I’ve even seen some of the better players not dare to have a go at him, they’re turning back and passing it.

“That’s the sort of player he is, no one wants to take him on because he’s going to go with everything.

“People say he slides in too much, but I think he times his tackles perfectly.

“When you have a player like that and people realise they can’t take him on, it’s an advantage to the team because they start playing back.”
