Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has praised Aaron Wan-Bissaka for his fighting spirit during his career with the club. After not getting any chance at the start of the season.
Wan-Bissaka has only played four minutes in the first four months of this season. While being sick and occasional injuries.
That allowed Diogo Dalot to extend his place as Ten Hag’s first-choice right-back. After impressing the Dutchman on his pre-season tour of Bangkok and Australia UFABET
However, Dalot suffered a hamstring injury while playing for Portugal at the World Cup. And Wan-Bissaka has featured in his last two games against Burnley in the Carabao Cup Forest in the Premier League.
United had scored five goals in those games without conceding. With Wan-Bissaka providing an assist for Christian Eriksen against Burnley and performing very well against Forest last Tuesday night.
The 25-year-old’s future at Old Trafford is uncertain. And there is speculation that he will be released after leaving Crystal Palace for United for a fee of 50 million pounds.
But with the limited budget of Ten Hag in January and that they need a new striker. He is therefore unlikely to be looking for a new right-back until the summer.
Ten Hag said.
“First you have to be on the pitch. And in the first half of his season either he was injured or sick. So he has no role in the team.”
“I think the break was the best thing for him, he’s back, he’s in a training camp in Spain. and can play some games in preparation for the restart And now he has played 2 games and he is doing very well. So I’m happy with his performance.
“We need competition as a team. He has to play games together as a team. Then he can develop and grow.”
