 Aaron Wan-Bissaka   – Manchester United YOUNG. DEFENSIVELY SOLID. ENGLISH. Ticking all three boxes, Wan-Bissaka was the obvious choice for the right-back position at Manchester United after having a breakthrough year for Crystal Palace under Roy Hodgson.

Typical of a Spanish midfielder, Rodri also has the ability to retain posession under pressure using his body orientation and first touch. Under Guardiola, Rodri will also be allowed more freedom to bring his creative side into play and dictate play from the midfield.  He also has the defensive awareness required for a DM which helps him to break attacks from opposition and recover the ball to...
