Williams reveals his Moscow memories
The left-back was only seven when Sir Alex Ferguson's side defeated Chelsea in all-English final, in Moscow, back in 2008.
He admits it was a struggle to obtain permission to stay up so late, particularly when the game went all the way to a penalty shoot-out, but remembers it fondly.
“In 2008, I remember being at home [for the final] and my nana was telling me to go to bed but I was like: ‘I need to watch the penalties’ and, obviously, we all know what happened.
”My mum and dad went out to watch the game but my nana was babysitting me. She kept telling me to go to bed but I don’t think she knew what game it was, and how big it was.
“I told her I needed to watch it!”
