Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has shared his admiration for former Red Devils player Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who recently made a transfer to West Ham for £15 million. Giggs praised Wan-Bissaka as one of the best defenders in the Premier League, highlighting his exceptional one-on-one defending skills.
United have been busy in the summer transfer window, signing players like Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui to strengthen their squad. However, after an injury setback for Yoro, and with Mazraoui making an immediate impact, Wan-Bissaka found himself surplus to requirements at Old Trafford and made the move to London.
Despite a modest fee for his transfer to West Ham, Wan-Bissaka’s reputation as a solid defender precedes him, with Giggs acknowledging the challenge of facing him on the pitch. The right-back’s journey began at Crystal Palace, where he impressed before moving to United for £50 million in 2019.
While Wan-Bissaka’s offensive contributions may not have matched expectations in Manchester, his defensive qualities have been consistently praised, making him a valuable asset for any team. Giggs’ high praise for Wan-Bissaka underlines the impact the player has had in the Premier League.
Following his move to West Ham, Wan-Bissaka expressed his excitement to be back in London and his eagerness to contribute to the team. Despite missing his debut in the first game, Wan-Bissaka is looking forward to showcasing his skills and helping the Hammers achieve success.
Overall, Giggs’ comments shed light on the quality Wan-Bissaka brings to a team, and his move to West Ham presents a new chapter in the defender’s career as he aims to make his mark in the Premier League.
