Bournemouth 0-1 Manchester United: 5 Men who were poor for the Red Devils

#4 Aaron Wan-Bissaka

AFC Bournemouth v Manchester United - Premier League

The Englishman has been rock solid at the back for Manchester United since making the move in the summer. However, against Bournemouth, Aaron Wan-Bissaka looked a tad off-pace and struggled to find his footing in the game. He started as a part of the back four which had played together for quite a few games this season. Sadly, the Englishman was guilty of being overly cautious for the majority of the game and rarely ventured forward.

Wan-Bissaka continued to stay alert at the back, but he did not get too involved in the United attack. He failed to complement Daniel James, who stretched the opposition through the right and as a result, United lacked the wing play that could have opened up the compact Bournemouth backline. Wan-Bissaka was also culpable for the goal.

The Englishman failed to deal with Joshua King, affording him a lot of time on the box with the ball, and ultimately allowed him to turn and score.
