Norwich City's on loan Manchester United defender Brandon Williams took the time to thank Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Norwegian coach was dismissed by United on Sunday after a horror 4-1 loss to Watford in the Premier League on Saturday.

As United search for a new coach, loanee Williams paid tribute to the manager who gave him a top flight debut.

He posted to his 1.1m followers on Instagram: "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play for the biggest club in the world on the biggest stage, I will be forever grateful for that and everything you taught me. You made a boy's dream come true. Thank you boss.️"

Williams is experiencing a middling loan spell with the Canaries, and is unlikely to become part of United's first team plans for next season.
