From London to Manchester, from Crystal Palace to United, the step was not short. At 21 years old, Aaron Wan-Bissaka he found himself catapulted into a situation that he struggled to manage: i Red Devils they paid out as much as 55 million in 2019 for what was considered a talent of English football but the performance did not live up to expectations. So, after 5 years and 190 appearances, the transfer to West Ham arrived in the summer for 17.5 million.
A return home, to his city, which seems to have benefited the class of 1997, an immovable starter with Lopetegui. To the microphones of Standard he recounted his time in Manchester: “It was difficult, very difficult. I arrived alone and it was the first time I had left home. I didn’t have anyone there, apart from my PlayStation. It had become tiring, it probably wasn’t a good idea for me. But I had to try to settle in and that’s what I did. Now I’m a different man.”
