44' Defensively, no one likes tackles more than Aaron Wan-Bissaka.


"I like tackles, man. I want to get the most tackles in every game. That's my goal," he told Manchester United's official website.


"I'm not really happy to walk out of a game without a lot of tackles. At the same time, when I think about it, it doesn't necessarily mean anything negative.


“It could mean that the winger isn't confident to keep closing in on me, giving me a chance to handle him. "Wingers hate it. When I was a winger, I hated being tackled. When I was trying to beat a player and he dealt with me, I just thought, 'Me. I don't want to go back there', and changed my course, changed my game."
