Keown identifies what Wan-Bissaka does better than any other EPL player

Martin Keown said Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the best one-on-one defender in the Premier League after Manchester United's summer signing quietened Raheem Sterling during Saturday's derby victory.

Wan-Bissaka came out of the game boasting a 100 per cent tackle success rate having nullified the threat of City's top scorer at the Etihad.

And Keown was full of praise for the former Crystal Palace defender, telling Match of the Day: "He's a magnificent defender, simply the best one-against-one defender in the Premier League.

"He's patient, look how close he gets to his opponent. Sterling has got electric pace but it doesn't matter because he goes in. He takes charge of things.

"People thought I was good and I think this guy is ahead of me. He has got that arrogance and great pace. He picks his moment, it's brilliant defending. His teammates know he is their best defender."

Keown wasn't alone in lauding Wan-Bissaka's display, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Marcus Rashford both singling the 22-year-old out at full-time.

"Aaron, he's playing against Sterling out there, Mahrez out there, De Bruyne out there, and they just couldn't get past him," Solskjaer said.

Rashford said: "Everyone put the work in and worked as hard as they could. In the end that is why we won the game. The one-v-one battles, especially with the full-backs were unbelievable and Aaron especially was top notch."
