BBC Sport pundit Troy Deeney has named one \u201cdominant\u201d former Manchester United star who is \u201cplaying really well\u201d in his Premier League Team of the Week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/a> are in the tail end of their 2024-25 Premier League season and the Red Devils have only three matches left in their current league campaign.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are 15th in the Premier League table and United can no longer climb back into the top half before their lacklustre season is out.<\/p>\n

United will end the 2024-25 season with their worst finish in the Premier League era and Ruben Amorim<\/a> has struggled to turn around the Red Devils\u2019 league form.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have won only 10 Premier League matches from 35 league fixtures and United have lost a whopping 16 times in the current campaign.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim\u2019s men were back in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon and United lost 4-3 to Brentford<\/a> at the Gtech Community Stadium.<\/p>\n

United have now switched their attention back to their Europa League campaign and the Red Devils are on the verge of reaching the 2025 final of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Aaron Wan-Bissaka signed for West Ham<\/a> last summer after Manchester United allowed the 27-year-old former Red Devils defender to leave Old Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United secured a \u00a315m transfer fee for Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a> and the Hammers right-back inked a seven-year deal with Premier League side West Ham in 2024.<\/p>\n

Wan-Bissaka had fallen down the pecking order at United after former Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag<\/a> preferred Diogo Dalot<\/a> ahead of him on the right flank.<\/p>\n

The West Ham star has been able to secure regular first-team football at the London Stadium and Wan-Bissaka has made 35 appearances for the Hammers this season.<\/p>\n

Wan-Bissaka picked up an assist after he set up Jarrod Bowen in West Ham\u2019s 1-1 Premier League draw against Tottenham at the London Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Speaking in his BBC Sport column<\/a>, Troy Deeney<\/a> said: \u201cHe\u2019s just been dominant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love watching him play, it looks like he has that freedom back.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, he had a difficult time at Manchester United but you\u2019re starting to see now at West Ham he\u2019s coming up with assists, he\u2019s passing forwards and he\u2019s playing really well.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just nice to see him smiling.\u201d<\/p>\n

West Ham star Aaron Wan-Bissaka revealed his true feelings on his Man Utd spell and Old Trafford exit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aaron Wan-Bissaka lifted both the League Cup and the FA Cup under Erik ten Hag and he admitted that he was thrilled to add major silverware to his trophy cabinet.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sky Sports<\/a> in 2024, he said: \u201cI\u2019m proud. The whole journey. Whatever it\u2019s come with. The ups and downs.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to get two cups out of it. Going through that experience was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wan-Bissaka arrived at Old Trafford under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> after he was signed from Crystal Palace in 2019 and he made 190 appearances for United in his spell.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BBC Sport pundit Troy Deeney has named one \u201cdominant\u201d former Manchester United star who is \u201cplaying really well\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[36795,748,393,4884,2465,101,11057,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-79768","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-aaron-wan-bissaka","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-manchester","13":"tag-premier-league","14":"tag-troy-deeney","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114462205229431755","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
