Leicester City midfielder, James Maddison praised Manchester United’s defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the best defender in one-on-one situation. This is after United’s win over Brighton and Hove Albion in the semi-final of the FA cup.
After losing to Sevilla in the Europa League, Erik ten Hag’s team recovered to qualify for the FA Cup final, where they will face Manchester City.
After 120 minutes of play ended in a 0-0 tie between the two sides. The victory was decided by a penalty shootout.
Wan-Bissaka was instrumental in keeping Kaoru Mitoma quiet during the game, which was close throughout.
The Seagulls’ Japanese playmaker has been in incredible form this season. But Wan-Bissaka neutralized him at Wembley.
Although the defender frequently receives criticism for his lack of offensive output. There is no questioning in his defensive prowess.
And Maddison, a lifelong United supporter, claims that Wan-Bissaka is the world’s top one-on-one defender.
AWB is ridiculously good at 1 v 1 defending. Probably the best in the world bar none. So many wingers run out of ideas when playing directly against him.

‘AWB is ridiculously good a 1 vs 1 defending,’ said Maddison.
‘Probably the best in the world bar none.
‘So many wingers run out of ideas when playing directly against him.’
Despite Wan-Bissaka’s resurgence at Old Trafford, United will look to offload him this summer.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is someone that Ten Hag is interested in signing.

The Red Devils are also interested in signing Inter Milan’s right-back, Denzel Dumfries.
The transfer of either of the two defenders will most likely see either Diogo Dalot or Wan-Bissaka leave the Theatre of Dreams in the summer transfer window.
