Man Utd defender Wan-Bissaka ‘can be one of the greats,’ says Treble winner Wes Brown
AARON WAN-BISSAKA has won the praise of former Manchester United defender Wes Brown who thinks he can "become one of the greats".
In what has been a difficult start for United in the new Premier League season, Wan-Bissaka has been a shining light.
Much was made of how the England star would fit in following his £50million move from Crystal Palace this summer.
But the right-back has answered all questions with some impressive performances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
But it's not come as a surprise to Treble-winning defender Brown.
Speaking to , the 39-year-old now retired footballer said: "He’s been fantastic, probably the one signing for United who has been most consistent.
“He’s started every game, he’s got great athleticism and he’s good in the tackle.
“He’s come from Crystal Palace and people wondered if he’d be good enough for Manchester United and already from the first game it looks like he’s stepping up.
TIMES TACKLES PERFECTLY
"He’s enjoying it and it’s where he wants to be.
“If he can carry on like that he’s going to be one of the greats in that position.
“He’s only young, he’s level-headed and everything he’s done, tackling, tracking back has been brilliant.
“I’ve even seen some of the better players not dare to have a go at him, they’re turning back and passing it.
“That’s the sort of player he is, no one wants to take him on because he’s going to go with everything.
“People say he slides in too much, but I think he times his tackles perfectly.

And Gareth Southgate has shown huge faith in Wan-Bissaka, picking him ahead of Manchester City title-winner Kyle Walker in the ranks.
