Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher labels Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the best one-on-one full-back in the world following his performance in the derby.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has labelled Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the best one-on-one defensive full-back in the world following his performance in the Manchester derby.

The Manchester United defender has received plenty of praise after an encouraging performance in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Manchester City.

The 22-year-old effectively nullified the threat of Raheem Sterling throughout the clash and made eight tackles during the match - more than twice as many as any other player on the pitch.

Carragher was particularly impressed with Wan-Bissaka's performance and claims that the right-back, who is yet to win a senior England cap, is the best in the world in his position at defending one-on-one situations.

"Sterling is one of the best three or four wide players in the world but Wan-Bissaka's saying: 'Come on, you're not going to get past me'," Carragher told Sky Sports News.

"I actually think Wan-Bissaka is the best one-on-one defender for a full-back in the world. I don't think anyone would get the better of him."

Wan-Bissaka has made 26 appearances in the Premier League this season, with United making strong strides towards Champions League qualification.
