Manchester United FC defender Brandon Williams (33) appeared to be in control during the second half of the Soccer Champions Tour match between Manchester United FC and Real Madrid CF
Manchester United may have lost 2-0 in a friendly against Real Madrid, but there have been some wins in terms of entertainment, with Brandon Williams possibly taking the top prize.
Williams has had a mixed three or four years since making his EFL Cup debut against Rochdale in 2019, once looking like a prospect who could forge a respectable career at United, then go on loan and get lost in disturbance.
The England youngster impressed with his breakthroughs and put in a pretty impressive performance against relegated Norwich, but it's hard to pinpoint where Williams' ceiling is exactly.
And as United look to once again establish themselves among Europe's elite teams, they sit far away in the ranking order with Erik ten Hag currently in charge.
As a result, Williams has become something of a mystery. Perhaps not good enough to cut mustard at United, but a hometown lad who embodies the club's values, is adored by supporters and absolutely loves to be stuck in opposition.
So what will you do with him? One question United proved they didn't really have the answer to. However, we are not here to discuss his future. It's pretty dull. Instead, we're here to celebrate him and the crazy personality he brings to the pitch every chance he gets to play.
Whether it's Houston or Harpurhey, the guy just likes a little chaos. And we love him for that. There was no such thing as a friendly match in his mind, which became very evident in United's loss to Real, robbing him of trials like a haunted man.
He's had a remarkable rise in pre-season and looks determined to take chances with both hands. Determine is perhaps an understatement, really. Ask Federico Valverde.
The Uruguayan midfielder was the one to receive a scathing foul from Williams in the final stages of a friendly between the two giants, and for such an industrious player with a few bites, he looks like like being hit by a one-ton truck.
I have the ball, referee. Point or signal circles in the air just to drive that point home, knowing full well that you've completely nailed your man. Textbook. We've all been there. This is often followed by Oscar-worthy performance when recommending scores you for it. How dare he?
To be fair to Williams, the first tackle was very fair. Loaded with some steel that he obviously brought from home, okay, it was the second one that really pissed us off.
Valverde - utterly bemused by this unnamed blonde - staggered to his feet and fouled a loose ball, with the impression he could comfortably take the next 50/50 win. Ha, no chance. No goddamn chance, Fede.
Williams arrived again, seemingly sped up by a potentially lethal dose of frenzy, anticipating Valverde's challenge to respond and let the ground fly in the midfield, pulling them both out without a hitch. not thinking about winning the ball back at all. Pre-season, guys. Don't get hurt whatever you do. Yes really. It's as if this crazy couple is bowing to that.
It could be a friendly for the attendees, but when you represent Manchester United and Real Madrid, in the end it could be anything but. Bragging rights lie on the line between the paired teams
