Following the match, West Ham boss Graham Potter claimed that the full-back is now playing the best football of his career. “He's been really impressive,” he said.

“As I've said before, I can't say this categorically because I don't know Aaron's career, but I can't imagine he's played as well [before] as he has for us at this point in his career.

“He looks like he's enjoying his football. He gives a lot to the team, really pleased with what he's giving to the team offensively and defensively. As I said, it looks like he's enjoying his football.

‌

“And that's not easy because the results we've had haven't been that enjoyable. But nevertheless, his individual performances have been strong.”

During his five years at Old Trafford, Wan Bissaka played a total of 190 times for United, scoring two goals and providing 13 assists.
