'The challenge was not to foul him... that's what he wants!' Man United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka says Neymar is the toughest opponent he has faced but he relished the test of stopping PSG star

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has named Neymar as the trickiest opponent he has faced but relished the challenge of not fouling the Brazilian star.

The 23-year-old right-back is enjoying a very positive second season with Manchester United having joined from Crystal Palace for £45million back in 2019.

United's short-lived Champions League campaign this season brought Wan-Bissaka into direct competition with Neymar during two group stage meetings with Paris-Saint-Germain.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side made the perfect start to their group with a 2-1 win at the Parc des Princes but saw their qualification hopes disintegrate in part thanks to a Neymar-inspired 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford.
