Report: Newcastle United keen on January loan move for Manchester United defender Brandon Williams

According to Chronicle Live, Newcastle United are keen on bringing Manchester United defender Brandon Williams to St. James’ Park on loan in January till the end of the season.

The 20-year-old is currently struggling for playing opportunities at Old Trafford despite featuring in 36 games across all competitions last season, and a temporary exit when the winter transfer window opens next month appears to be on the cards.

Williams has found himself behind Alex Telles and Luke Shaw in manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s pecking order at left-back, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the undisputed first-choice at right-back.
