Wan-Bissaka 'without a doubt' better than Alexander-Arnold, claims former team-mate

Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt is convinced that Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the best English full-back around and suggested any doubters only need ask Raheem Sterling.

Wan-Bissaka, 22, joined Manchester United from the south London club at the start of the 2019-20 season and has quickly claimed an undisputed place in the Red Devils' starting line-up.

Reproducing his club form on the international stage, though, may prove an even tougher prospect, given the competition at right-back provided by Liverpool ace Trent Alexander-Arnold.

While Alexander-Arnold is a year younger than his United rival, he already boasts a Champions League winners medal and is almost certain to finish 2020 as a Premier League champion; but Van Aanholt still favours his former team-mate.
