Aaron Wan-Bissaka credits Erik ten Hag for his transformation at Man United.
The English defender has played second fiddle to Diogo Dalot since the start of the 2022/23 season until the Portuguese fullback picked up an injury in Qatar.
Wan-Bissaka was particularly weak going forward which made Dalot an attractive option for the Dutch manager.
Since Bissaka got the opportunity to get back into the first team, his improvement has been quite evident and challenges Dalot for the regular starting berth.
He said: “Growing up it was quite natural until I became a defender, so you forget a little because you are not in those areas again. So it is quite weird, you focus more on the defending side. That was the transition. Now I’m getting used to it again. It’s putting me in those positions to get used to it because there is a chance in the game when I have to be in those positions for myself or to make space for another player.
“Those crossing opportunities always come up in a game so you have to be prepared for them so you have to keep practicing them and training them.”
