Manchester United fullback Brandon Williams is in line for a Europa League start tonight.

The Daily Mail says United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's injury crisis may force him to turn to Williams in their Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar.

It will be another major milestone in the development of the 18-year-old, who is being touted around Old Trafford as the 'next Denis Irwin'.

After impressing in the early stages of the new season, Williams was handed his senior debut during the the Carabao Cup victory over Rochdale last month.

Despite being right-footed, he plays on the left side of defence and has been tipped by those within the club to go on to have a sensational career like Irwin did.
