Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has revealed that going up against Anthony Martial in training is making him a better all-round player.
Wan-Bissaka, who joined United from Crystal Palace for £50million this summer, was unable to help the Red Devils’ avoid a shock 2-1 defeat by former side.
The 21-year-old told the
club's official website : “
I’m up against Anthony (Martial) a lot. It’s tough, but you take the positives. It helps both of us. Playing against someone with quick feet like him, you can’t learn. Our attackers have all got a lot of paces, so you just have to be concentrated and focused on their next move all the time.”
“The older players help me a lot. Paul Pogba has advised me a lot," he added. "That first game in Perth, he was telling me the same thing everyone has: you're here for a reason, play your game, play without fear, get up and down - that's what I put into my head.
“I've settled down now. A couple of weeks back I found a house to move in to. I just haven't been out much! We had a team bonding night, which was great. I'm not usually the type to interact, but that was definitely needed on my part. It was great to see a bit more of people away from football. I'm new to Manchester, but it's a nice area and I've settled now. I've made sure I kept my shirt from the Chelsea game, so that'll be getting framed and going up on the wall at home.”
