Leicester Ace Hails Man United Star As ‘Best in the World’ After FA Cup Display

• Aaron Wan-Bissaka was part of the Manchester United squad that stunned Brighton in the FA Cup
• The England international played in the right-back position while Diogo Dalot switched to the left
• One of Wan-Bissaka's outstanding moments in the match was silencing Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has earned rare plaudits from Premier League rival, James Maddison following his display during Manchester United's FA Cup clash against Brighton.

Wan-Bissaka formed part of the makeshift defence that Erik ten Hag assembled for the semi-final cracker played at Wembley Stadium on April 23.

The England international was deployed in the right-back position, with Diogo Dalot moving to the left as Luke Shaw partnered Victor Lindelof at the heart of defence.

Incredibly, the reshuffle worked wonders, with the tie ending in a goalless draw before the winner was decided via an epic penalty shootout.

James Maddison hails Wan-Bissaka

Maddison, a Premier League rival to Wan-Bissaka, could not help but shower the Man United full-back with praises after the match.

The Leicester City star took to social media to hail his fellow Englishman as the 'best in the world' and went on to describe how so many wingers struggled against him.

"AWB is ridiculously good at 1 v 1 defending. Probably the best in the world, bar none," Maddison posted. "So many wingers run out of ideas when playing directly against him."
