According to the British "Sun" newspaper, Manchester United interim manager Ronnick promised brandon Williams, a youth youngster who has been loaned out this season, that he will definitely return to the team next season, and the German even regards him as a new signing.
The 21-year-old Williams was loaned to Premier League promotion Manovic this season, and although the team is in the relegation zone, Serena Williams, nicknamed "New Elvin", has played well and is an absolute mainstay of the team, and was even named the best player in the team in January.
Both incoming coach Daniel Falke and now Dean Smith reuse 21-year-old Williams, who has made 20 appearances for the Canary this season, with one assist. And his performance also attracted the attention of Manchester United manager Ronnick, who told him to his face that he could return to the Red Devils at the end of the season.
A source told The Sun: "Manchester United visited Norwich in December last year and Brandon (Williams) was unable to participate due to the loan recusal clause. He watched the game live and greeted some of his United teammates, and when the two sides greeted each other, Lonnick walked straight to him. Lonnick said he knew Brandon and spoke highly of him, and he clearly hoped that brandon would return to Manchester United after his loan term expired.
"So, his message is: 'Keep working hard and enjoy football, you have a big future at Manchester United.' Brandon was very happy because the United manager had just been in charge of two games and had a lot to do, but took the time to communicate with him. It shows that the manager likes him, likes his speed and versatility, he can play left and right full-backs."
Williams made his First Team debut for Manchester United in September 2019, having made 17 Premier League appearances that season, earning the new Elvin acclaim and a four-year contract. However, in the following season, Serena only made 4 league appearances, and last summer window was rented out for exercise.
If he returns, it will bring new challenges for Manchester United's England international Luke Shaw. Last season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer activated Luke Shaw's form by signing Brazilian left-back Tres, and if Williams returns, it will be a good thing to be able to increase competition for left-back positions and improve the status of his teammates.
Luke Shaw, 26, has slipped in form this season and has been criticised for breaking offside traps with teammates on the last two occasions to help his opponent score goals. Not only that, but Luke Shaw has also sparked controversy over his claim that United can win the Champions League. By his own admission, this view would make some fans think he was stupid.
Luke Shaw stressed: "This is a critical time for the season and it is important to build good momentum in the league. As a team, we believe we can win the Champions League. There are not too many people on the outside who are optimistic about us, and some people will think that it is very stupid for me to say this. But we are full of faith and confident that we can come to the end. I believe everyone in the dressing room, including the players, coaches and management, has that confidence. Now we need to maintain a good momentum, achieve the desired results, and keep playing well."
Of course, whether Williams will stay at Manchester United next season, Lonnick said does not count, when the official manager of Manchester United has the final say. At present, the two big favourites of the new Red Devils coach are Paris Saint-Germain's Pochettino and Ajax's Tenhag. Paris has just beaten Real Madrid 1-0 at home in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and Uncle Bo has become a candidate for future manager of Real Madrid after the game. According to the British "Independent" newspaper, the Galactico top brass was angry about the loss, Ancelotti was at risk of being fired, and one of his replacement candidates was Pochettino, in other words, Manchester United's invitation to the Argentine coach may face new competition.
