Frimpong linked with Man Utd moveWan-Bissaka could be replaced at right-backYorke believes club should trust Wan-BissakaWHAT HAPPENED?
Amid Manchester United's hopes of returning back to their old successful ways, it has been reported that new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is looking to bring Frimpong to Old Trafford this summer. However, Yorke believes that the club should bank on Wan-Bissaka and let him stick this his forte of defending to get the best out of his skill set.

Speaking exclusively with Crypto Casino LTD, the Man Utd legend said: "If Jeremie Frimpong is a bit fragile defensively, then he'll be bought for a certain system by the manager. Nowadays, fullbacks play much higher up the pitch and can play in all types of systems, but I don't know how Erik ten Hag wants to play. Man United already have a good right back in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but you can say he's the opposite of Frimpong, great defensively but not that great going forward.
“When we attack, we should be letting Wan Bissaka sit back and offer more defensive protection, handling the one v one on the wing. But instead, he's told to bomb up the wing and try to take on a player, which he can't do. Erik ten Hag should take away Wan-Bissaka's attacking duties and make him defend, then they can have some solidarity in the defence. Instead, Wan-Bissaka, who doesn't score or create, run around like a headless chicken in the opposition box, running in his teammates' way.
“It's not rocket science, watching this unfold is crazy. The one thing you need in the defence is to be able to defend one v one. Just let him f***ing defend."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Wan-Bissaka has often been criticized for his lack of commitment to join United's attacks as he has always been more comfortable defending for his side. However, the evolving modern system employs full-backs in a more offensive sense and therefore, Wan-Bissaka has been asked to perform better offensively for the club.

It has been heavily reported that Man Utd are looking for a replacement right-back this season with Inter's Denzel Dumfries and Frimpong being the two main options. However, the club could retain the English full-back for next season if they fail to sign either of the two.
