Town in Talks to Sign Manchester United’s Williams
Town are in talks regarding the signing of Manchester United left-back Brandon Williams.
The move, understood to be a loan, is not yet done with the parties still in discussion.
If it goes through, the switch will allow Greg Leigh to leave the Blues to join Oxford United, as reported yesterday.
Williams came through the academy at Old Trafford, where Blues boss Kieran McKenna worked prior to joining Town, and has made 30 first-team appearances for the Red Devils, scoring one goal, including 13 Premier League starts, the most recent in 2020/21.
Last season, the 22-year-old made one senior appearance for United, as a late sub in a Carabao Cup victory over Burnley and he is yet to have any involvement this season.
Manchester-born Williams, who although right-footed prefers to play on the left, spent the 2012/22 season on loan at Norwich City during their Premier League relegation season, making 25 starts and four sub appearances.
Williams, who is 5ft 7in tall, is contracted to United until next summer with the club having an option for a further season.
Earlier in the week, Saturday’s opponents Leeds United were credited with interest in the full-back.
