"Liverpool's young defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is considered one of the best players in his position in the world, and in terms of assists in the Premier League, only young Englishman Kevin De Bruyne surpasses him this season. However, Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt is convinced that at least in defense, T. Alexander-Arnold is surpassed by Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka. "Is Wan-Bissaka better than Alexander-Arnold? Without a doubt. They are different players. In defense, Wan-Bissaka is simply incredible and definitely better than Trent.
It is obvious that Alexander-Arnold currently looks better joining attacks and delivering excellent corner kicks, but if you asked Wilfried Zaha which of these two defenders would make it easier for him to play, I think he would choose Trent. I really respect Alexander-Arnold because he delivers a lot of assists and is a great footballer, but for defense you can just ask Raheem Sterling what impression Wan-Bissaka left on him," - spoke P. van Aanholt on "The Counter Attack" podcast.
Former teammate of A. Wan-Bissaka has no doubts that the Man Utd defender can provide even more benefits in attack. "Perhaps, at the moment, this is his main problem, but he can change. Wan-Bissaka is one of the best full-backs and his work in attack is good, he just needs more goals or assists. Tasks in defense are the most important thing for players in this position, but in modern football full-backs must also attack. Playing for United, you get the ball more often, so you must join the attacks. However, I think that for now Wan-Bissaka is doing great with his tasks," added Crystal Palace defender. A. Wan-Bissaka, in 34 games this season, registered 2 assists.
