Brandon Williams heartbreak as Anthony Martial upstaged by Manchester United flop on loan

There were mixed results for Manchester United's loan players on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

With some eyeing-up promotion and others staving off relegation threats, there is plenty going on away from Old Trafford as the 2021/2022 season reaches its business end. Brandon Williams and his Norwich City teammates were handed a gut-wrenching defeat by Leeds United.

As for James Garner, meanwhile, there was a cause for celebration as Nottingham Forest continued on their merry way in the Championship. Here is our latest United round-up;

Amad Diallo (Rangers): Having found game-time hard to come by, Amad was afforded a welcome cameo by the Scottish giants during their domestic cup victory over Dundee on Sunday afternoon. He replaced Ryan Kent for the final 23 minutes and a semi-final spot awaits.

Tahith Chong (Birmingham City): For those United fans who keep tabs on the next generation, St Andrew's held plenty of interest on Saturday afternoon. Chong played 90 minutes during the 1-1 draw, though his fellow Academy graduates Teden Mengi (Birmingham) and Di'Shon Bernard (Hull City) were unused substitutes.

Ethan Galbraith (Doncaster Rovers): A first-minute winner from Gillingham sentenced Doncaster and Galbraith to defeat in their most-recent game. However, the Northern Irishman got another 90 under his belt.

James Garner (Nottingham Forest): It was a birthday to remember for Garner as he celebrated his 21st with a 4-0 victory over Reading in the Championship. With his input, Forest are on course for the play-offs. An action-packed week sees Garner take on QPR and Liverpool in the FA Cup between now and Sunday afternoon - while that tie has been picked out for live coverage on ITV.

Anthony Martial (Sevilla): Martial had to settle for an appearance from the bench against Rayo Vallecano. Those sides played out a 1-1 draw and it was former United winger, Bebe, who opened the scoring for Rayo. Sevilla remain seven points behind La Liga table-toppers Real Madrid.

Brandon Williams (Norwich City): There was heart-break for Williams and his Norwich teammates during a topsy-turvy meeting with relegation rivals Leeds. Kenny McLean struck in added-time to make it 1-1, after Rodrigo opened the scoring, but Joe Gelhardt had the final say with a dramatic, last-gasp winner at the other end. It was a tough one to take for Norwich and they remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League standings.

Donny van de Beek (Everton): Only goal difference separates Everton from the bottom three and the alarm bells are ringing at Goodison Park. They do have three games in hand on Watford, though. Van de Beek played the entire 90 minutes as the Toffees slipped to a fourth straight reverse.
