Brandon Williams’ Previous Loan Spell

The United youth academy product spent the 2021/22 season on loan at Norwich, where he played 29 times and impressed with his dynamic displays in the left-back position. The defender is also capable of effectively deputising at right-back. Norwich and Ipswich are arch-rivals, as a result of which the 22-year-old could face hostility from the Canaries’ fans if the potential move is materialised.

United’s Activity in the Transfer Market

The three-time Champions League winners have brought in Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund to bolster their squad in this summer window. According to an earlier update from Romano, the club is not done with their transfer business this summer, the priority remains to bolster their midfield, with Moroccan midfielder, Sofyan Amrabat being the prime target.

As far as potential exits are considered, Donny van de Beek is set to follow Fred and David de Gea away from the Manchester club. Erik ten Hag recently said that he wants only those players at the club who are committed towards the team. According to the transfer market insider it could potentially be an indication towards Van de Beek and Williams.
