According to Sports journalist, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone admires Wan-defensive Bissaka’s ability, strength, and pace.

Manchester United fans may be surprised by the news, given they have been harshly critical of the defense this season, with the player’s perceived lack of attacking nous a significant irritant.

Wan-Bissaka arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2019 for a rumored €55 million fee. Under two different managers, the former Crystal Palace defender has failed to live up to his price tag, as a porous defense has battled once again this season.

Wan-Bissaka is a dependable defender who is noted for winning personal duels. He was one of the greatest defenders in Europe for tackles won while at Palace. His lack of offensive ability has been extensively criticized since arriving for United.

A move to Atletico Madrid would be similar to Kieran Tripper’s transfer from Tottenham to the Spanish city in 2019. While Tripper had previously come under fire from Spurs fans for his form, under Simeone’s direction, he was able to return to form and achieve his finest results.

At the Wanda Metropolitano, the Argentine manager is recognized for his reactive style of play and for developing defenders into world-beaters. Tripper won La Liga during his tenure in Spain, fought his way into England’s Euro 2020 squad, and was consistently one of the top defenders in the country.
