# Manchester United: Aaron Wan-Bissaka attracts heavy praise from supporters following Solskjaer comments

**Speaking to Manchester United’s [official website](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/solskjaer-recognises-wan-bissaka-attacking-contributions), manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has heaped praise on defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka for his overall contributions and has hailed him as one of the ‘[best one v one](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/solskjaer-recognises-wan-bissaka-attacking-contributions)‘ defenders he’s ever seen – with some Red Devils supporters echoing those sentiments on Twitter.**

Wan-Bissaka, who has started[23 games](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331924/Show/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka) for the Red Devils this season, is currently a staple of United’s defence – making the [most tackles](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Manchester-United) out of all of his teammates. The Englishman, who signed from Crystal Palace last summer in a [£50 million deal](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48784655), has since gone on to impress under Solskjaer – leading to the Norwegian singing his praises in a press conference ahead of United’s Premier League clash with Watford on Sunday.

Compared to fellow right-back Diogo Dalot, when he played fairly regularly last season, Wan-Bissaka has, of course, eclipsed his tackling rate ([3.9](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331924/Show/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka)) this campaign whilst making more interceptions ([2](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331924/Show/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka)) on average, as per [WhoScored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331924/Show/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka), prior to tonight’s game.

Taking that into account, it’s clear the former Palace man has added some much needed defensive depth – with Red Devils supporters acknowledging that fact on Twitter. Find all of their best comments down below.
