​Man Utd defender Wan-Bissaka opens up on life in lockdown

Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has spoken about his life in self isolation.

The right back is among many footballers staying in their homes as much as they can.

The COVID-19 outbreak means the UK is under an order where people must remain inside as much as possible to reduce the virus spread.

Wan-Bissaka told United's club website: "Each day I'll start off with the gym downstairs, where I do a bike session. I'll chill throughout the day, have a kickabout with my brother in the garden and in the evening I'll do a gym session that the club's coaching staff have set for me.

"The club have been great in terms of keeping in contact with the players and ensuring everything is as normal as it can be in the circumstances.

"Our chef is dropping off food for us, so the food is left at a safe distance, we collect it and we fix it ourselves. Fitness-wise, I've enjoyed the programmes the club have given us.

"It's given me things to do. It's difficult to come up with all your own ideas to stay in shape, so those programmes have helped."
