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.
