10 Manchester United academy stars who could make the first team this year

#5 Ro-Shaun Williams

Williams is touted to be part of the Manchester United first team soon

Like Callum Gribbin, Ro-Shaun Williams has been unlucky with regard to injuries which has hampered his rise to the first team. Last season, Williams had made the first team bench in the FA Cup as well as the Europa League.

The 18-year-old moved to Manchester United from Fletcher Moss, the same academy that produced Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Marcus Rashford. Williams had broken former British sprinter, Darren Campbell's 100m record, at the Ashton-upon-Mersey school, which had remained unbeaten for 25 years.

The modern style of football warrants a lot of pace and intensity, and Williams could be a valuable addition to the first team, considering the fact that he is seldom beaten for pace by any of the opposition's attackers.

Last season, Williams made 18 starts for the United Reserves in defence, partnering Axel Tuanzebe, with whom he has a wonderful understanding.
