Aaron Wan-Bissaka says “extra sessions” in training have helped him excel at Manchester United this season.

The right-back has been in brilliant form for Man Utd this term since joining from Crystal Palace in the summer for £50million.

He particularly caught the eye as the Red Devils beat Manchester City 2-0 in the derby on Sunday with Wan-Bissaka keeping Raheem Sterling quiet all match.

“I think that process has been going in the right direction,” Wan-Bissaka told the Daily Mirror. “I’ve had help from the team and the coaches, showing me the way forward.

“I stay out after training to do extra sessions so that I keep improving all the time and I’m ready to play at my highest level every week.”

OPINION: Man Utd actually spent £50m on a ’20s full-back…

Man Utd are currently on a 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions and have moved three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the race for Champions League qualification.

And Wan-Bissaka thinks their recent improvements have been down to “better communication” between Man Utd team-mates.

“I’d say the partnerships between us have improved and we’ve been growing together,” said Wan-Bissaka.

“You can see it in the clean sheets. That’s always the main aim: to get the clean sheet, then the team can get the win. I think it’s down to better communication.

“Sometimes the formation changes, so we’ve been getting used to both five at the back and four at the back, and the communication has helped.

“I don’t have a preference. The five at the back allows me to get forward more at times during the game.”
