Brandon Williams has told Erik ten Hag that he's "sure" he'll take his chance at Manchester United, having seen his previous plea for more game-time ignored.
The 22-year-old full-back has been handed a mere five minutes of competitive football by Ten Hag thanks to a long injury layoff and his team-mates' fine form. Williams, who broke into the Red Devils' first-team during ex-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign, missed the first half of the season through injury and has since been unable to displace Luke Shaw or Tyrell Malacia at left-back, as well as Diogo Dalot or Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the right.
Nearly a year ago, whilst spending last season on loan at eventually-relegated Norwich City, the United academy graduate made it clear that he wanted regular minutes this term and was ready to take his improvements "back up to Manchester in the summer." That was before Ten Hag was appointed as Solskjaer's permanent successor, with the Dutchman since being reluctant to throw Williams in after he returned from the sidelines.
