Man United legend Dwight Yorke argues Erik ten Hag should just let Aaron Wan-Bissaka defend | OneFootball

Manchester United treble hero, Dwight Yorke, has claimed that Erik ten Hag should just let current defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka get on with his game.

The Englishman has lost his place to Diogo Dalot as the first choice right back in the team but the huge amount of injuries United have suffered in this campaign has still given him the chance to play plenty of minutes.

However, he has never really convinced fans with his attacking display in spite of his outstanding tackling abilities.

Dalot is widely considered the more rounded right back of the two and hence the manager’s preference for the Portuguese.

Moreover, since the Dutchman has been in the job, there have been numerous rumours about the Mancunian side wanting to upgrade their right back department.

Jeremie Frimpong has often been the player most linked to a move to Manchester owing to his outstanding attacking credentials.

However, according to Dwight Yorke, Ten Hag does not need a replacement and should just let Wan-Bissaka play his current game.

The Trinidad and Tobago international already gave his thoughts on a range of issues in an exclusive interview with The Peoples Person on Marcus Rashford’s future, Ten Hag’s job security and which striker he would like United to bring in during the summer window.

Speaking to Crypto Casino LTD (via The Sun) Yorke has now claimed, “If Jeremie Frimpong is a bit fragile defensively, then he’ll be bought for a certain system by the manager.

“Nowadays, fullbacks play much higher up the pitch and can play in all types of systems, but I don’t know how Erik ten Hag wants to play.

“Man United already have a good right back in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but you can say he’s the opposite of Frimpong, great defensively but not that great going forward.”

Therefore, Yorke argued that the United coach should find a way to play to his strengths and proceeded to give the former Ajax coach some tactical advice.

“When we attack, we should be letting Wan Bissaka sit back and offer more defensive protection, handling the one v one on the wing. But instead, he’s told to bomb up the wing and try to take on a player, which he can’t do.

“Erik ten Hag should take away Wan-Bissaka’s attacking duties and make him defend, then they can have some solidarity in the defence.

“Instead, Wan-Bissaka, who doesn’t score or create, run around like a headless chicken in the opposition box, running in his teammates’ way.

“It’s not rocket science, watching this unfold is crazy. The one thing you need in the defence is to be able to defend one v one. Just let him f—ing defend.”

Many United fans have accepted, like Yorke, Wan-Bissaka will never be able to make any meaningful improvement in his on-the-ball ability.

However, if used properly, he can be a potent weapon against a skilful winger like he was against Allan Saint-Maximin in the Carabao cup final last season, when he successfully nullified the Frenchman.
