Wan-Bissaka: I adapt well at Man Utd and once pictured myself scoring like Henry
Man utd news update live:
Aaron Wan-Bissaka says he has settled in quickly at Manchester United following his £50million transfer from Crystal Palace.
The defender moved to Old Trafford for a big-money fee in the summer and has impressed with his performances at right-back at the beginning of the season.
Explaining his decision to move to United and how he has bedded in in a new part of the country, Wan-Bissaka told Joe: "It's been different but I knew I was up for a new challenge, a new area, a different life.
"I've adapted well here, settled in quite quickly with the team. They (teammates) have been great to me."
Wan-Bissaka also revealed he idolised Arsenal great Thierry Henry when he had ambitions of making it as a forward.
"Growing up I looked up to Henry," Wan-Bissaka added. "I just like goals, I liked the way he scored goals. I always pictured myself scoring goals when I was younger.
"I trained there (at right-back) a few times because Palace needed players in that position, that's when they noticed how good I am at tackling and defending."
On playing against United's attackers for Palace before going on to train with them at Carrington, Wan-Bissaka said: "When you know you're coming up against them... you know it's going to be a hard test but that's going to make me better person.
"Every session helps a lot, whether they go past me or they don't, it still helps and it allows me to expect who I'm going to be up against during a Premier League game."
