Wan-Bissaka reveals advice from Zaha over his £50m move to Man United

Man utd news update live:
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has taken advice from former Crystal Palace team-mate Wilfried Zaha over his £50million move to Manchester United.

Zaha was a flop at Old Trafford after signing from Palace for £15m in 2013, making just four Premier League appearances before returning to his old club.



After Wan-Bissaka made his debut in a 2-0 win over Perth Glory at the Optus Stadium, the England Under-21 defender revealed that he has spoken to Zaha about adjusting to life at United.

'When he knew that I joined, he just told me to play without fear,' said Wan-Bissaka, who was one of 11 half-time substitutions made by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in Perth.



'I have come here as a new signing and he said, "just play your game and do what you did last season".

'He was happy for me. He said I deserved it and I should continue working hard and doing what I do.

'I try not to focus on that (the pressure). For me, it is just developing as a player and my ability to help the team going forward.



'I expected it when I came here - it's a big club. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Crystal Palace so the attention will always be there. I just need to play my game and block it out.

'It's always good to get that first game (out of the way), that is what I was looking forward to.' Wan-Bissaka admitted that he felt more nervous performing a rap by Meek Mill in front of his new teammates at a Perth restaurant last week as part of an initiation.



'I'll stick to what I know, and that's football,' he added. 'I've settled in well, and the boys have been great.

'I was surprised, literally when I walked in everyone has been talking to me and encouraging me with advice. That has helped me a lot.' In what was a relatively straightforward debut for United, the 21-year-old demonstrated why he has earned the nickname 'Spider' as he won all five tackles he made against the Glory.



'I don't think I learnt it, it's just the range of the legs,' he added. 'I realised when I was 18 I just had the length in the legs, so I use it to my advantage.
