Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor recently urged Manchester United to secure the future of Aaron Wan-Bissaka by triggering a one-year extension in his contract. According to Agbonlahor, this decision will prove to be immensely beneficial for the Red Devils.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Agbonlahor asserted that Wan-Bissaka has the potential to become one of the best defenders in world football, urging the club to recognize and extend his contract.
Gabriel Agbonlahor reckoned that while Wan-Bissaka may not emulate the attacking prowess of players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, he possesses the defensive capabilities to challenge the best in the world.
The pundit further highlighted the improvements the 25-year-old has made in his attacking game, positioning him as a well-rounded right-back capable of contributing to Manchester United's offensive play.
“He has been improving," he said. "He’s never going to be a Trent Alexander-Arnold but he can get to the level of a Kyle Walker where you’re good enough on the attacking front which is enough, and you can see that he has been improving on this side of his game.''
Aaron Wan-Bissaka showcased impressive form in the second half of the 2022-23 campaign, earning him starts in all three of the team's pre-season games against Leeds United, Lyon, and Arsenal.
With 34 appearances in all competitions last season, Wan-Bissaka has proved his worth, earning the trust of head coach Erik ten Hag.
By extending his contract, Manchester United could ensure they keep hold of a player who, in Gabriel Agbonlahor's opinion, possesses the potential to reach Kyle Walker's level of importance to Manchester City.
As the discussions about a new deal continue at Old Trafford, it is evident that Aaron Wan-Bissaka's trajectory is on an upward curve. The player's commitment to improving both defensively and offensively, coupled with the endorsement from a seasoned pundit, signals a bright future for the talented right-back.
