Man Utd star Aaron Wan-Bissaka is ‘best one-on-one defender in world’ after keeping Sterling out of game, says Carragher

AARON WAN-BISSAKA is the best full-back in the world in one-on-one situations, claimed Jamie Carragher.

The Liverpool legend, 42, praised the defender for getting the better of Raheem Sterling during Sunday’s Manchester derby.

Wan-Bissaka put in an incredible performance as Manchester United thumped their local rivals 2-0 this weekend.

The 22-year-old defender made eight tackles, three interceptions and won 12 duels on his 26th league appearance of the season.

He marked England international Sterling out of the game as United kept their eighth clean sheet of the campaign.

Carragher has urged Pep Guardiola against starting Sterling up against Wan-Bissaka in the next Manchester derby.

Speaking on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, he said: “It’s almost become a massive rivalry this.

“Yes it’s the two Manchester clubs, but it’s [also] Raheem Sterling against Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

“I think something Pep [Guardiola] has to do next time [the Manchester clubs play each other] is not put Raheem Sterling up against Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

“Sterling is one of the best three or four wide players in the world but Wan-Bissaka’s saying: ‘Come on, you’re not going to get past me’.

“I actually think Wan-Bissaka is the best one-on-one defender for a full-back in the world.

“I don’t think anyone would get the better of him.”
