Paul Parker feels Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has ‘stepped up’ and is now similar to Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Zinchenko has impressed at the Emirates since moving to north London in a £32m deal in the summer from Manchester City.
The Ukraine international has made 17 appearances for the Gunners with Alan Shearer lauding Zinchenko for ‘pulling the strings’ in the win over Manchester United last month.
Wan-Bissaka, meanwhile, who moved to Old Trafford from Crystal Palace in 2019 in a £50m deal, has started United’s last seven Premier League games with Erik ten Hag’s side losing just once in that time.
‘Wan-Bissaka has definitely stepped up and he has raised his own bar,’ former United defender Parker told MyBettingSites.
‘He is not perfect at all but it looks like he has the willingness to do a really good job.
‘He has been very brave and he reminds me a bit of Zinchenko. There are not a lot of English full-backs that can play the way he is playing.
‘Ten Hag is in a really good position on that right fullback position. He has two really good players but it’s up to Diogo Dalot to reclaim his position.
‘I think a lot of Man United fans would agree that there is no need to get a new right back. Wan-Bissaka and Dalot can do the job very well.’
Michael Owen, meanwhile, heaped praise on Wan-Bissaka following United’s 1-1 draw with Palace last month.
‘I think when the teamsheets came out Wilfried Zaha saw that Wan-Bissaka was going to be marking him in that game he would’ve been thinking, ‘oh no’. Because no player wants to play against the likes of Wan-Bissaka,’ Owen told Premier League Productions.
‘His problem is obviously on the ball, going forward, but he’s improving that all the time.
‘That was Wan-Bissaka to a tee, that is the best part of his game that late, lunging tackle where he sweeps his leg around.’
