Wan-Bissaka said: “My family wanted to stay at mine for two weeks before that game they were so excited!
“The game felt different. It felt like the debut I made for Palace all over again. The nerves kicked in.
“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.”
Wan-Bissaka helped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men to an 11-game unbeaten run before lockdown.
He feels he has adapted even better than he expected thanks to the openness of the Old Trafford dressing room.
AWB, close pals with Timothy Fosu-Mensah, said: “We all get along. I didn’t expect it.

“I thought because I was new, not many would engage with me.
“But as soon as I stepped in, everyone wanted to help me, showed me around, had conversations with me. They made me comfortable.
“The manager’s intention has been to build this squad together and you can see the difference after the New Year. Every game we were getting better.”
