Manchester United fans identify only highlight of dull draw vs AZ Alkmaar

Manchester United fans think Brandon Williams emerged as the only positive from the awful 0-0 draw at AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.

Williams was handed his first senior start at United on the left side of defence, and impressed in a tight game short of chances at either end.

United were sloppy throughout the team, but Williams offered a steady outlet at left-back on his full debut.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed Williams' performance after the game, telling MUTV: "[He was] top class, top performance for a full debut. So happy for him. He’s got no fear, he’s brave, wants the ball, takes people on, tackles, he’s physical. So happy for him."

And while fans were critical of most aspects of United's performance in the Netherlands, they picked out Williams as the only positive performer on a difficult night.
