Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial may have scored the goals, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka claimed the Man-of-the-Match award following United’s superb Manchester derby victory over City.
Speaking to us after the final whistle, a beaming Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was full of praise for his summer signing from Crystal Palace.
“Aaron, he's playing against Sterling out there, Mahrez out there, De Bruyne out there, and they just couldn't get past him,”said the manager.
Rashford also pointed to the performance of his English team-mate, saying: “Everyone put the work in and worked as hard as they could. In the end that is why we won the game. The one-v-one battles, especially with the full-backs were unbelievable and Aaron especially was top notch.”
‘AARON WAS ALMOST PERFECT’
MUTV analyst and tactical expert, Statman Dave, also eulogised about Wan-Bissaka’s display against City. “My Man of the Match was Aaron Wan-Bissaka and what a performance he put in for United,
“ said Statman Dave.
“He was up against one of the most tricky and difficult wingers in the Premier League in Raheem Sterling, who failed to register a single shot on target. Aaron was almost perfect for United on the right-hand side and, for me, that area of the pitch is where United won the game.”
