Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has sent a classy message to Brandon Williams after the young full-back recovered from injury to feature during the club's friendly match against Cadiz.
Williams returned to Old Trafford this season following a spell on loan with Norwich in the Championship, as the 22-year-old looked to show Erik ten Hag how much he had developed as a footballer during his time away from the club. Many had hoped he might challenge Diogo Dalot at right-back, but the youngster unfortunately missed the entirety of United's pre-season in Thailand and Australia due to injury.
Fitness issues have hampered the defender's progress this season, and despite being close to a return before the World Cup break, Williams was still absent from the matchday squad for the Reds' last game before the World Cup, a 2-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
