How Aaron Wan-Bissaka has impressed Manchester United teammates in training

Man Utd right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has impressed since arriving in the summer but Darren Fletcher wants to see him improve in one area.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been so good in Manchester United training that no player has been able to get past him, Darren Fletcher has revealed.

The full-back has impressed since his move from Crystal Palace in the summer and has nailed down his place in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's starting XI and he's clearly been making an impact in training as well as in games.

Former United midfielder Fletcher revealed he had been talking to some of the current crop about the England international.

“I was talking to some Manchester United players, and they were saying that no player has managed to pass Wan-Bissaka in training this season," Fletcher told Norway’s TV2 .

“It’s as if he refuses to let them pass. He has to get better technically, but he is a fantastic full-back. When he gets better technically, he’s going to take his game to a new level. He is a fantastic defensive player and contributor for Manchester United.”

The 22-year-old has been a regular starter for Solskjaer since his arrival in the summer, only missing two league games through illness, but Fletcher has pointed out where he wants the defender to improve.

"He loves to defend himself," Fletcher said. "It’s refreshing to see, but he has to get better with the ball. Hopefully he is working on receiving and passing in training. I don’t see for myself that he’s going to be an attacking fullback who storms ahead."

The full back impressed against Manchester City in the derby win at the Etihad and former Arsenal defender Martin Keown was full of praise for the United defender.

"[One-on-one defending] is something I was good at myself," Keown told the BBC. ‘This guy is ahead of me and people thought I was good. ‘He can go in either direction and he’s got that arrogance to feel he can say ‘come on, take me on’."
