Last season, Manchester United lacked a quality right-back, causing United's defence to leak quite a few goals from the right. This prompted the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Wan-Bissaka started his United career on a bright note, as he put in a commanding display in United's 4-0 defeat of Chelsea. The former Crystal Palace player showed exactly why United spent the big bucks on him. His solid defensive display ensured the likes of Barkley and Pedro had little joy down the right side of United's defence.

The Englishman was unfazed by the proposition of facing a tricky opposition in Chelsea and held his nerve by making several well-timed tackles and interceptions, snuffing out any danger from the right. Wan-Bissaka balanced his attacking and defensive responsibilities to great effect, earning a well deserved clean sheet on his debut.

Wan-Bissaka ended the game with a pass accuracy rate of 86 per cent, won 9 out of 11 duels, made three recoveries, and completed 4 tackles (the most any player made during the game).
