Williams is another product of the club’s outstanding Academy system and is one of 12 Academy graduates who have featured in a first-team matchday squad this season.

The boyhood United fan, who was nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award in September, recently made his England Under-20s debut in a goalless draw with the Netherlands.

He appeared for the Reds in Europe for the first time earlier this month, playing the full 90 minutes at left-back during the 0-0 draw with AZ Alkmaar in the Hague.
