Newcastle have reportedly agreed a deal in principle to sign Brandon Williams on loan from Manchester United. Williams was promoted to United’s first team last season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and was regularly called upon in the starting line-up.
The 20-year-old made 36 appearances in all competitions and scored in the 3-3 draw against Sheffield United.
He’s proven to be a versatile option for Solskjaer with his ability to play on either side of defence as well as being deployed further up the pitch.
But his minutes have diminished this season following the arrival of Alex Telles on deadline day last summer.
Williams has only made one cameo appearance off the bench in the league this season with Telles and Luke Shaw the preferred options at left-back.
