Former Manchester United defender Brandon Williams has revealed that it ‘hurts’ to watch football after being released by the club amid his off-the-pitch struggles. Williams, 24, wasn’t given a new contract by boyhood club United last summer and remains a free agent.
The left-back hasn’t played a competitive match since December 2023. That was when he was on loan at Ipswich Town working under ex-United assistant coach Kieran McKenna.
