Brandon Williams has lifted the lid on how he was signed by Manchester United.

Williams also shed light on how he came to be a United regular, getting signed by the club when he was just seven years of age.

“I got picked up by [Manchester] United at seven, but I started playing ball at six," said the youngster.

“I wasn't really into football but my cousin used to take me to a little concrete pitch and we'd kick the ball, chest it, shoot.

“When I was younger I was really quick, always one of the quickest, but it's down to my cousin how I got to play. How to touch the ball, how to shoot.

“At seven I was playing for a local team called Bury Amateurs. Seven, eight teams wanted me - United, City, Chelsea.

“I'm from Manchester, my Dad is a United fan and so I went with United. And I've been there ever since. It makes me so happy I can walk out at Old Trafford and my Dad's there."

Williams still has a lot to learn but he feels Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard are his mentors behind the scenes at Old Trafford.

“Rashie and Jessie. [Marcus Rashford and Jessie Lingard]. They've been through it all already," he continued.

“They've been through the youth stage, through seasons at the club.

“Them two have always made sure was alright. When I first got into the team they made sure I was alright. Eating the right things, y'know. Good stuff."
