Manchester United fans split on Brandon Williams' future despite impressive stats vs Aston Villa

Manchester United fans are split on the future of Brandon Williams despite his impressive stats against Aston Villa on Saturday.

The 21-year-old United academy graduate has spent the season on loan at Norwich City as he looked to gain further experience in the Premier League. Sadly for Williams and his teammates in Norwich, the Canaries were relegated following the 2-0 defeat to Villa.

This result, coupled with Burnley's victory over fellow strugglers Watford, ensured that the Norfolk club will make an immediate return to the Championship. On a personal note for Williams, his performance against Steven Gerrard's side caught the eye of statistician Statman Dave.

Having accumulated Williams' stats during that match at Villa Park, Statman Dave tweeted out his findings. Most notably Williams won 100 per cent of his tackles and won the most duels (11).

Williams also managed 81 touches from the full-back position and drew the most fouls. Even though the 21-year-old impressed on Saturday — and for much of the season at Norwich — United fans are not fully convinced he should play a part in Erik ten Hag's squad next season.
