Man Utd legend ​Neville excited over youngster Williams

Gary Neville is very impressed with what he has seen from Manchester United youngster Brandon Williams.

The fullback has come in to the first team this season and not looked out of place.

Williams is right footed, but has mostly appeared at left back for the Red Devils.

Neville is more upbeat about United in general, given they have won five of their last six games.

And he reserved special praise for Williams.

"It's been a really good month for Manchester United barring the Bournemouth defeat," Neville told Sky Sports.

"That game was frustrating and took us back a few steps but generally it's been a better month than the one before.

"You can see some real excitement with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood and Daniel James, there's something to work on there.

"Defensively, with Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, there's something to work on there too. The young boy Brandon Williams gives me a great deal of hope."
