Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has admitted he's been working on improving the attacking side of his game.
Wan-Bissaka was informed that he was free to leave United last summer and he was a peripheral squad figure in the first few months of last season, but he showed impressive resilience to fight his way back into the side.
The right-back was regularly picked over Diogo Dalot by the business end of last term and he's started in every Premier League match so far in the 2023/24 campaign, further cementing himself as the first choice in his position.
Wan-Bissaka has earned praise for his renaissance and the attacking side of his game has particularly improved, something which he believes is partly down to the influence of Erik ten Hag, as he recently told club media.

“It's been good, especially for myself. I've learned a lot under him," Wan-Bissaka said. "And there's more to come, more improvement to be done. So, yeah, I'm happy. He's helped the team. You can see the team's transition has changed.
"On the pitch, just where to be at certain times, be more aggressive going forward, and just how I can help the team. I think before, it was just being left to play the game. But since I've been under him, the manager has taught me a lot.
"And you just want to improve more and keep learning more, especially from someone like him. So I've enjoyed that. It's things I've been working at [attacking]. It's what the manager wants, he wants me in those areas of the pitch.
"It also helps the team, whether I've got the ball or not, just to make space for them and create opportunities.”
