No one can get past Wan-Bissaka - Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher

Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has showered praises on Aaron Wan-Bissaka over his performance in Sunday's Manchester derby.

Manchester United got the better of Manchester City by beating them 2-0 at Old Trafford.

The performance by Wan-Bissaka in keeping Raheem Sterling at bay was noticed in the game.

According to Carragher, City's manager Pep Guardiola should play Sterling on the opposite flank to Wan-Bissaka when next his side clashes with United.

“What can Pep do next time?” Carragher said while analysing footage on Monday Night Football.

“I think something he’s got to do is not put Raheem Sterling up against Wan-Bissaka, and I’ll show you why.

“Wan-Bissaka is almost like ‘run at me, bring it on’.

“Raheem Sterling is possibly one of the best three or four wide-left players in the world.

“And [Wan-Bissaka’s] saying ‘Yeah, come on, I don’t need to get tight, you’re not going to go past me’.

“In that position, I think against any other full-back in the Premier League, maybe Europe, Raheem Sterling’s away.

“The reason he’s away is his pace but actually see the way he’s leaning into Wan-Bissaka, he’s leaning in because he’s a very strong boy, Raheem Sterling, and he’d be away.

“But even when he gets past him, look at this leg coming from nowhere.

“I actually think Wan-Bissaka is the best one-on-one defender for a full-back in the world.

“I don’t think anyone will be able to get the better of him one v one.”
