AWB: I want to be the number one tackler

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has made a great start to life at Manchester United, particularly defensively, and has currently second in the table for most tackles in the league with 91 in 25 appearances.

Speaking to the official site, the right-back says he hopes to be top of the charts by the end of the season.

I think I’m second at the moment, and I’m happy with that for now, just to be right up there. First place is the target by the end of the season! It’s going in the direction that I want it to go. I’m working hard and improving my game all of the time, and I just want to continue doing that.

Joining the club from Crystal Palace, who United beat in the 2016 FA Cup final, Wan-Bissaka has his eye on winning silverware with United.

I think we’re in a better position than when I joined. We didn’t start off great at first, not as the club is expected to do, so I think we’re moving in the right direction now. I’m very excited by the future. I think we’re getting closer to reaching our target. I came to this club to win trophies and I know that this team is capable of winning trophies. I think it’s a process. We’re going in the right direction and that’s what we’re aiming for.

I think that will help a lot, getting our hands on the first trophy. It will boost our confidence and help us go on to the next [one]. That’s how Ole wants us to think: he wants us to get our first trophy, move on to the next one and just keep going for others.
