Aaron Wan-Bissaka lists three best attributes and sends message to Manchester United fans

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has told Manchester United's fans he can't wait to get started after completing his £50million move from Crystal Palace.

The 21-year-old right-back's arrival at Old Trafford was confirmed on Saturday after protracted negotiations between the two clubs in recent weeks.

“I just want to say thanks for welcoming me to this amazing club, I can’t wait to see you and get started," Wan-Bissaka told supporters during an interview with United's website.

"I think it is an honour to represent this club and I can’t wait to engage with the fans. I have seen the support they give in every game.

"This club is known for winning trophies and I want to be a part of that, to win my first. I can see that the fan base is huge and they support the team through thick and thin.

"I am going to give everything for the club and for the fantastic fans and I can’t wait to get started.”

Much was made of Wan-Bissaka's transition from a winger into a wing-back in the lead-up to his move to United and he has explained how the change came about.

“I think it started with a formation really, you know with wing-backs, and I was playing on the wing back then but we had to play with wing-backs so that is how I got used to it and got the feel of it," he said.

"From that I enjoyed it and that is how it really all got started.”

Asked what his three main attributes are, the youngster responded: “I would say dribbling, speed and tackling.”
