In this Sunday's Premier League visit to Manchester City, England right-back Wan Bissaka is expected to continue to maintain the right-back starting position, as the Red Devils are expected to be on the defensive due to the challenge of the leader in the Etihad, so the defensive Wan Bissaka is more suitable than the assisted Diogu Dalo. But this does not mean that "Spider-Man" has no worries about the future, on the contrary, if his performance continues to stand still, I am afraid that he will be purged this summer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed 10 million bissaka for £50 million in the summer window of 2019, and his initial performance was stunning. The quick and agile body and accurate tackles made the Red Devils fans think that there was finally a new Gary Neville on the right. Unexpectedly, with the progress of time, everyone found that the above two advantages are also the only desirable points of Wanbisaka.
Because of the dependence on tackles, Wanbisaka, who originally played as a winger, had a very poor sense of defensive position and a completely bad head, as long as the opposing winger was not attached to a personal breakthrough, he could easily break Up Wanbisaka through cooperation. For example, Brighton developed a cross from the right, completed the shot in the defensive zone between Wan Bissaka and the centre-back, kicked one and one accurate, fortunately the Seagulls had bad luck in that game, 5 shots hit the goal frame, the Red Devils escaped the disaster, and the penalty was eliminated after the final game.
In addition, although WanBisaka advanced well in possession, he was unsightly in his last pass or cross, and often played the role of "terminator" on the right side of the attack. In the Premier League this season, Wan Bissaka's crosses (33) and average crosses per game (0.5) are at the bottom of the team's full-backs, so during his time as a player, the core Bruno Fernandez has to often cross from the side, and currently ranks first in the team and 6th in the Premier League with 119 crosses. In the Champions League, Wan Bissaka's cross success rate was zero, which was also the worst among full-backs, and Dallow managed to rank first in the team with 50% of the crosses.
After Lonnick took office, Diogu Dalo got more starters. The German led 17 games, with Dallow starting 11 times, Wan Bisaka only 5 times, and one cameo by Lindelev.
In the nearly three years since wan bissaka joined Manchester United at the age of 25, there has been no obvious progress, which has gradually lost the trust of the manager and fans; in contrast, Dalo's defense has improved, and the assist full-back is more in line with the tactical trend.
Britain's TEAMtalk reported that if the status quo is maintained, one of the suggestions after Lonnick becomes the club's senior football adviser this summer will be to purge Wanbisaka. If there is money, United may bring in a new right-back, if not, Dallow will renew his contract to stay in the team as a main player, and his replacement may be the youth youngster Ethan Laird, who is currently on loan to Championship Bournemouth.
Not only at Manchester United, Wan Bissaka also faces a desperate situation in England, and he still dreams of being selected for the Three Lions for the World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year. But although they are all managers, Southgate is not Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and he has always disliked the Manchester United iron gate that only tackles the ball. Right-backs are the strongest in England, not one, Liverpool's Arnold, Chelsea's Reese James, Manchester City's Kyle Walker and Newcastle's Trippier are all bigger and famous, as well as Brighton's Tariq Lamptey, Southampton's Valentino Lilamento and other rising stars.
It is worth mentioning that Lampte and Lilamento have recently entered the list of rumored introductions of Manchester United, both of which are produced for the Chelsea youth system, and both are more comprehensive than Wan Bisaka.
But Wan Bissaka's guarantee of staying at United is also strong, that is, his high value. Of the club's £50 million transfer fee, 45 million is a fixed amount, which means that if he wants to sell, he will undoubtedly lose money.
