The right-back has well and truly established himself as part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting eleven, featuring in ten games across all competitions. Against Norwich in the Premier League on Sunday, the 21-year-old delivered a defensive masterclass that more than lived up to his incredible nickname.
One of the key facets of Wan-Bissaka style of play is his aggressiveness, and he showed it in abundance against the Canaries. That unbridled intent to always play on the front-foot with his defending, and nipping in ahead of attackers to pinch the ball off them, is an art the young defender has already mastered.

Daniel Farke’s side just didn’t know a way past the 6 foot man, and he duly succeeded in overwhelming whoever came up against him. As per Sofascore, by the end of the clash, he had won a ridiculous 13 duels and 11 tackles – both of them game-highs. His reading of the game was also on display at Carrow Road as he completed three interceptions, and in one particular moment to remember, effectively stopped a Norwich counter-attack from a corner all by himself.
It was the kind of monstrous display that proves United have spent their £50m wisely. And at only 21, he has plenty of room to grow. And that’s undoubtedly the most frightening prospect of all.
