Manchester United fans echo thoughts of Paul Scholes after Brandon Williams' magic

Manchester United opened the scoring at Partizan Belgrade this evening when Anthony Martial netted from the spot but it is Brandon Williams who deserves huge credit as well.

The 19-year-old has not made a Premier League start this season but was trusted from the beginning of the Europa League clash by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Williams showed his confidence by providing plenty of enthusiasm in the first half as he helped United put Partizan Belgrade on the back foot.

Then came the moment when he really made an impact as he drove into the box from the left and was brought down.

United great Paul Scholes was in the BT Sport studio and provided his take on the penalty.

"It's definitely a penalty. It's really good play from the young lad. He showed pace on the outside," Scholes told BT Sport.

Fans of United also echoed the sentiments of Scholes as they heaped praise on the teenager.

Here is the best of the reaction from United supporters, with the vast majority excited by Williams' potential and what he could offer the club long-term.
