Brandon Williams sends message to Man United teammate James Garner ahead of play-off final

Brandon Williams has revealed he will not be able to go and watch Manchester United teammate James Garner feature for Nottingham Forest in Sunday’s Championship play-off final.

The pair, both 21, have struck up a close bond since coming through the youth ranks at the club. Despite enjoying frequent game time during the 2019/20 season, United are set to listen to offers for Williams after a loan spell at Norwich this term.

Meanwhile, Garner has flourished on loan at Forest under Steve Cooper and has helped them to the play-off final after missing out on automatic promotion. He is expected to be named in the line-up that will face Huddersfield for a place in the Premier League, with many tipping him to be knocking on the door of the first team when he returns to United.

On Saturday morning, Williams posted a message on his Instagram story, outlining that he was unable to make the trip to Wembley to cheer on his mate. He wrote: “Sunday, my bro plays the biggest game of his life.

“Gutted couldn’t make it but he’s going to make the impossible possible, simple. Love you brother all the best.”
