Aaron Wan-Bissaka continues to display great form with an overwhelming performance last night, adding to a great deal of involvement in the 2-0 scoreline.

The Manchester derby ended with Man United ascertaining their supremacy on the scoreline, although the possession stat suggested otherwise.

The victory happens to be their 10th unbeaten game in a row, and the English side has been consistent for a while in maintaining clean sheets as well.

Wan-Bissaka was yet again a sturdy wall in the right flank, with Raheem Sterling secured deeply in his pocket. Almost all of the attempts to get forward by the City attacker was stopped right in tracks by the full-back.
