In a candid reflection on his career at Manchester United, Aaron Wan-Bissaka admits that he faced significant challenges, especially during his time under current manager Erik ten Hag. Despite starting with promise after his transfer from Crystal Palace, he encountered personal struggles, often feeling isolated away from his family. Wan-Bissaka shared that Michael Carrick, who was part of the coaching staff during his tenure, provided essential support that helped him navigate these tough times.

Wan-Bissaka, who played 190 matches for Manchester United before his move to West Ham in 2024, praised the management style of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, emphasizing the importance of personal rapport between players and coaches. He highlighted that while Solskjaer was adept at connecting with players, his relationship with interim manager Ralf Rangnick was not as strong, which negatively impacted his confidence and performance on the field.

Furthermore, the full-back advocates for Carrick to take over as the permanent manager, citing his understanding of the club's culture and the players' needs. Wan-Bissaka's comments come at a time when Manchester United is seeking to stabilize its managerial position and improve team morale, making Carrick’s potential appointment a topic of significant interest among fans and pundits alike.
