Manchester United: Brandon Williams’ latest update has loads of fans talking

Brandon Williams arrived at Manchester United on Friday sporting a huge black eye after his head injury against Southampton. 

Williams turned up to training at Carrington with a whopper of a shiner.

The left-back, 19, clashed heads with Saints star Kyle Walker-Peters on Monday during the 2-2 draw with Southampton.

Who should start for Man United vs Chelsea?

While Walker-Peters came away relatively unscathed, Williams wasn’t quite so lucky, and was left with blood pouring down his face after the incident took place in injury time. According to The Telegraph’s James Ducker, the cut required six stitches.

The Manchester Evening News’ chief football writer Samuel Luckhurst shared the image on social media, which in turn was relayed by @utdreport.

It seems he still hasn’t made a full recovery as he was spotted driving to the training ground ahead of Man United’s FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea at the weekend.

Unsurprisingly, Williams was hailed as a “warrior” by some fans for his latest war wound, with a couple calling him “ruthless” and “tough as nails” for making the trip to Carrington.

Scroll through some of the best reactions so far…

Absolute warrior – tough as nails. Having said that, he doesn’t look good, he needs to take his time and recover properly.
