Brandon Williams sets Manchester United challenge vs Leicester

Brandon Williams insists Manchester United will go to Leicester aiming to win on the final day of the Premier League season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side go into their match at the King Power Stadium knowing one point will be enough for them to secure Champions League qualification next season.

Although United underwhelmed in their 1-1 draw with West Ham on Wednesday night, the result was enough to lift them up to third in the Premier League ahead of the final round of matches.

Defeat for Chelsea against Liverpool on the same night confirmed United's third-place position going into the final day of the season as Solskjaer prepares his side for a season-defining match.

Due to the many permutations going into the final day United could even secure Champions League qualification with a defeat as long as Wolves beat Chelsea, however Williams isn't getting distracted.

The teenage defender knows United can secure their own place in the competition next season and he insists they will go to Leicester with the sole intention of winning.

"We've got a result that has taken us above Leicester and we are going there with full confidence," Williams told MUTV following the West Ham draw.

"We're going there to win, and not to have any nerves, just doing what we need to do."
