“We need consistency from him but going forward today and particularly where we’ve started dominating games he is going to be a big, big player for us.

The 21-year-old has amazed because his #50m move and Irwin considers Wan Bissaka and fellow summer addition Harry Maguire will bolster a United defence that conceded last season to 54 goals.
