The Englishman has started his new life at Old Trafford very well since making the move from Crystal Palace in the summer. Wan-Bissaka has been assured at the right back position for United so far, but last weekend’s defeat against his former club must have hurt him a lot. This had to be an added incentive to strive harder against Southampton and he was impressive once again at right back.

Wan-Bissaka was tireless in his forward runs, regularly joining Andreas Pereira on the right side. His positioning stretched the opposition defence, creating spaces for Mata and Pogba to utilize. His crossing was decent too, however, United failed to take advantage of his final balls.

The 21-year-old was also exceptional at the back, dealing with the threat of Boufal admirably. His tackling was spot on and the home team struggled to create any openings past him on the day. He was massive when United had a numbers advantage late in the second half, running into the final third and creating a lot of chances. Once again, though, Manchester United were unable to turn those chances into goals and the game ended in a draw.
