Former Liverpool utility man emerges as Manchester United target, enquiry made

Manchester United are looking to bring in a full-back in the summer, and they have identified Neco Williams as a target.

According to a report from CaughtOffside, Manchester United have already made enquiries for the player. Williams can operate as a right back as well as a left back. He has two goals and four assists this season.

Neco Williams has done well for Nottingham Forest

The 25-year-old has been excellent for Nottingham Forest, and the club is unwilling to sanction his departure. In fact, they are hoping to agree on a new contract with the defender. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United decide to try their luck with an offer for him.

Williams could fancy joining a big club, and the opportunity to play for Manchester United will be difficult for him to turn down. He has established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League, and this could be the right time for him to join a big club.

Williams deserves a big move

Manchester United will be hoping to convince the player to join the club. They can offer him Champions League football and the platform to compete for trophies. At Nottingham Forest, he is unlikely to be able to compete at the highest level.

Nottingham Forest have been fighting for survival this season, and quality players will want to compete at a higher level. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Multiple Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on his situation, and the 25-year-old will look to sort out his future quickly.

The former Liverpool Academy graduate is certainly good enough to compete at a high-level, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. His history with Liverpool might not make him a very popular candidate among Manchester United fans, but there is no doubt that he is a quality player who would help them improve.

Manchester United have been tracking Williams for over a year.
