Wan-Bissaka without doubt better than TAA, claims Palace defender Van Aanholt

Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt is convinced that Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the best English full-back around and suggested any doubters only need ask Raheem Sterling.

“Better than Alexander-Arnold? Without a shadow of doubt," he told the Counter Attack podcast when asked about United's young star.

“They are different players. Defensively, Aaron is unbelievable, better than Trent.



"Yes, Trent has got his attacking and his corners, his right foot. But if you ask Wilf [Zaha] who he would want to play against, every other day, Trent or Wan-Bissaka, I think he will say Trent."

One of Wan-Bissaka's finest performances to date in a United shirt came in their derby victory over City, a game which Van Aanholt believes left Sterling for one in no doubt over the right-back's talent.



“I have got respect for Trent, because he does everything with his assists and he is great, but defensively, just ask Sterling how good Wan-Bissaka is," he added.

"It is a problem, and he will switch. He is one of the best right-backs, I think he could be, his attacking is good, but he needs more goals or assists to his name.



“Defending comes first, but in the modern game, you need to attack, and at United, you get more of the ball, so go forward and show what you have got, but he has been doing good."
