#1 Balanced Mentality
It’s become a modern trait for full-backs to be as good going forward as much as they are defensively. The way the game has evolved has forced full-backs to almost deploy themselves as wingers in the build-up phase.
This new phenomenon was ushered in by the likes of Roberto Carlos, Ashley Cole and Dani Alves. In doing this, these idols didn’t forsake their defensive duties, they just balanced their mentality more. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has grown up watching these heroes and developed his game based on their styles.
Last season, the 21-year-old averaged 1.7 dribbles, 1.2 aerials won, 2.4 interceptions, 3.7 tackles and 3.7 clearances per game. On top of that, he was able to provide 3 assists while averaging a 73% pass accuracy. A
s you can see, the youngster is a well-rounded full-back that excels in all departments on the pitch. For far too long, Manchester United have had an incompetent right-back in Antonio Valencia, a player who doesn’t excel at either end of the pitch.
The signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka ushers in a new and exciting era, should he don the famous red of Manchester United.
