Man Utd’s Wan-Bissaka in the Spotlight for Missed Opportunity against Everton (VIDEO)
During the first half of Manchester United’s Premier League match against Everton, Aaron Wan-Bissaka produced a miss that could be a contender for the season’s worst. Although the Red Devils dominated the opening 15 minutes of the match, they failed to convert three good opportunities to take the lead. Marcel Sabitzer’s early shot was deflected just wide, and Jordan Pickford denied Marcus Rashford, his England teammate. However, it was Wan-Bissaka who missed the best chance of the match to put Manchester United ahead.
After Antony’s left-footed strike hit the post from the edge of the box, the ball fell into Wan-Bissaka’s path, who was being played onside. Pickford was grounded after attempting to save Antony’s shot, and Wan-Bissaka had a simple tap-in from close range. However, he got the technique all wrong on his left-footed strike and watched in horror as the ball rolled wide of the far post.
The miss was a bitter disappointment for Wan-Bissaka, who is typically known for his solid defensive abilities rather than his attacking prowess. The video of the miss is now making rounds on social media, with fans and pundits alike expressing disbelief at the shocking blunder. Despite the miss, Manchester United went on to win the match 1-0, thanks to a second-half goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.
