Brandon Williams has been Manchester United's find of the season
Brandon Williams has been one of the finds of the season, and Manchester United fans are right to be excited about him. Luke Shaw's injury actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it helped push the youngster into action. And Williams has already outshone Ashley Young with his consistent performances on the left side of the defense.

The Englishman broke into the scene in the Carabao Cup against Rochdale and has two appearances in the Premier League. He also has two starts in the Europa League so far and has developed at a steady pace.
Williams was brilliant against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup as well as against Partizan in the Europa League.
He is blessed with pace to burn and needs no invitation to run forward. However, he doesn't shy away from his defensive responsibilities either and is a willing runner off the ball as well.
Teams have already struggled to handle Williams this season, and he certainly deserves to be in the starting XI against Partizan Belgrade. The only problem could be that Young is suspended for the weekend's game in the Premier League against Brighton and Hove Albion, so Solskjaer might keep the youngster on reserve for that tie instead.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
