Manchester United loanee Brandon Williams enjoys dream debut as Norwich hit Bournemouth for six

Brandon Williams made his debut for Norwich City after joining the club on loan from Manchester United this week.

The full-back's first game for the Canaries could hardly have gone better, as he helped his new side keep a clean sheet and win by six clear goals.

WIlliams was involved in Norwich's second goal of the night, combining well with Kieran Dowell in the build-up to Kenny McLean's strike into the top right corner from range.

The 20-year-old was substituted off for Dimitris Giannoulis in the 76th minute after a job well done, and his performance will surely give manager Daniel Farke a decision to make over team selection for Saturday's meeting with Leicester.

Michael Mutch, our colleague at NorfolkLive, rated Williams' performance as eight out of ten, writing: "You don't get to play for Manchester United without having a bit of class and it showed tonight.

"Put a boot into David Brooks inside of three minutes and his pass with the outside of the boot for (Christos) Tzolis to run on to was world class."

Williams made his debut just one day after signing for the club on loan with the hope that he would earn much-needed minutes for his development, something he was not going to get at United this season.

"It feels very different. It’s the first time I’ve ever played for a different club before but I’m just really excited to get started, meet everybody and get my season going," Williams told Norwich's in-house media upon joining the club.

“It’s a massive club and I like the way they play. I’ve watched them over the years and seen how they play.

"The club like to play out from the back and play football. That really inspired me to come here, and I think that the head coach can really improve me as a player. Everyone has been so welcoming. I’ve really enjoyed my time here already."

"I can’t wait to meet everybody. I’ve just got a feeling it’ll be a good year.”
