Samuel Luckhurst has been left slamming the display of Aaron Wan-Bissaka in Manchester United’s 4-2 win away at Leeds United in the Premier League.
The Lowdown: Big three points
Given the rivalry down the years between the two teams, and the fact that United are in the race for the top four, it was a big three points for Ralf Rangnick’s men.

After the Whites shocked them by coming back quickly from 2-0 down to level the score at 2-2, goals from Fred and Anthony Elanga calmed things down again for the Old Trafford faithful.
The Latest: Wan-Bissaka slammed
Taking to Twitter, Manchester Evening News journalist and chief writer Luckhurst slammed Wan-Bissaka during the match, suggesting that Atletico Madrid will want to play against him midweek:
“Atletico will be hoping Wan-Bissaka keeps his place.
“History repeating itself with other players.
“Pogba, superb in the first-half, has gone quiet, Fernandes is rattled and #mufc probably need a change on the flank.”
The Verdict: Dalot back in
While the Red Devils won the game, Wan-Bissaka would have been disappointed with his own individual performance.
The right-back lost out on six of his duels, and failed to block any shots on his goal, while he also recorded no key passes, accurate crosses or long balls, losing possession 15 times in total (SofaScore).
Given that Diogo Dalot is averaging more tackles, clearances, shots, crosses and long balls in the Premier League than Wan-Bissaka so far this season (WhoScored), the Portugal international should provide a sterner test for the reigning La Liga champions in the UEFA Champions League first leg, and coming off the back of this display, Rangnick should really consider dropping Wan-Bissaka for him for the clash.
