Wan-Bissaka names Sterling as toughest opponent & one of the best wingers in PL

  /  omega17

Perhaps Wan-Bissaka’s most impressive performance for United to date came in the 2-1 Manchester derby win over Manchester City in December.

Up against City’s Raheem Sterling, Wan-Bissaka shackled the England winger effectively throughout.

“I knew it was going to be a long game,” Wan-Bissaka admitted.

“He is one of the best wingers in the Premier League and I knew I had to step up my game.

“It's a good feeling, especially a player like him with his ability. It took real concentration because he can go in or out and has got pace.

“He's probably faster than me so that was a game I had to really focus on and actually go hard at it.

“Was that the toughest battle of my career? Yes, but since my debut with Crystal Palace [against Tottenham] no winger is going to be easy.

“It's going to be a challenge every game and they are only going to get harder with the better players you come up against.”
