Man Utd defender Wan-Bissaka: I've improved working with Ten Hag

Aaron Wan-Bissaka says he's a better player for working with Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.

Wan-Bissaka has detailed Ten Hag's demands of his fullbacks.

"I think it's getting involved more in the higher part of the pitch, which is what the manager wants," Wan-Bissaka told The Telegraph. "That is what I've been giving him. He wants the full-back and winger to be on opposite lines, so if one is outside, the other is inside. That is what has been happening in the games on both sides of the pitch.

"It gives more options for other players. It creates space for other areas of the pitch. Now it is natural. It is what we do in training and what we practise, so we have to make it a habit to create as many options as possible.

"It is about timing. When to be in certain positions at different times. To get forward and be an option, the more players in the box the better. What it is is just having that understanding of what the coach demands. He is demanding and it brings the best out of us.

"My aim has been to keep improving and using each game step-by-step. I'm quite happy with it. The only thing I can do when I get on the pitch is give it my all for the team and the manager."
