Brandon Williams is being urged to leave Manchester United.

Southampton were one of the clubs to have enquired about the possibility of taking Williams on loan late in the summer transfer window, and now an agent has urged the youngster to consider such a proposal.

“Younger lads that didn't go on loan will force a move," the unnamed Premier League agent told The Athletic. "The Carabao Cup is out of the window for the next two months as the rounds have already been played."

“Brandon Williams doesn't want to be No 3 left-back at United.

“He would be absolutely mental to not go somewhere like Leeds or Southampton. Or a top-half Championship club."
