His endorsement follows reflections on turbulent Old Trafford years, highlighting a desire for clear leadership.

Overview

  • The West Ham right-back told the Daily Mail that Michael Carrick "should be given the full-time role" after positive experiences under his guidance.
  • Carrick has won five of six matches since taking interim charge in January, adding momentum to calls for a permanent appointment.
  • Wan-Bissaka detailed severe homesickness after his 2019 move, describing near-daily train trips back to London and long evenings spent alone.
