A biography for Aaron Wan-Bissakahasn’t been written yet.
“I always pictured myself scoring goals when I was younger.”
“You go for a meal or something with family and fans are coming up wanting pictures and autographs and stuff. I don't think they understand when is the right time to approach or not.”
“I'm so thankful for the time my parents have put into me since I started playing. Taking me to training every day straight after work, missing meals to do so, taking me when the weather wasn't great, all the buses... it's paid off.”
“The captain has one main job: be a leader for the team.”
“My target is to play as much as I can and perform well.”
“When I played right wing, left wingers would beat the right back and I'd be recovering and getting the tackles in.”
“Even when I was a winger I liked defending.”
“Football is very regimented - you know what time to be up and you have your day planned.”
“The only thing I can do when I get on the pitch is give it my all for the team and the manager.”
“If I could add any attribute from any team-mate to my game, I'd have to pick Bruno's vision. In training, if I'm against him, I'll think he's going for an obvious pass, say over my right shoulder, but then he'll play it somewhere else in another way. He's so unpredictable.”
“I knew it would make me a better player, coming to United.”
“I'm not really happy when I come out of a game without many tackles. At the same time, when I look back at it, it doesn't mean anything negative, necessarily - it might mean that the winger's not confident to keep on coming at me, for me to have the chance to tackle him.”
“I was a winger and you get a sense of where they're going to go. Even if they don't go that way, it's advantage for me with the length of my legs and I'm still confident I'm going to get the ball. If I can get there I'll do my best to get there.”
“I just focus on my game and how I can help the team in any situation on the pitch.”
“At around 14, 15, I was turning up late, was lazy, wasn't trying in training, looking tired. It was diet stuff too. After school it was chicken and chips, fizzy drinks, stuff like that.”
“There's a lot of pressure at United. It's just how you deal with it. You realise the whole world is watching, not just your fans.”
“When I was younger, I wanted to score goals, and that was what Thierry Henry was doing, playing in a similar position to where I used to play.”
“That's what you need, I think - a manager who will push you.”
“I do not focus on speculation, I just keep my head down and keep doing it on the pitch. It is easy for me to block out, the main thing is just playing football.”
“I'm fine with people making assumptions about me, to be honest. That all comes with fame.”
