Ex-Man Utd assistant manager to raid OId Trafford in transfer for forgotten star and team him up with Chelsea loan ace
IPSWICH TOWN are reportedly lining up a raid on Manchester United for forgotten ace Brandon Williams.
The defender, 22, has made just four league appearances for the Red Devils since the 2020/21 campaign.
And he looks unlikely to feature under Erik ten Hag this term either, with numerous stars ahead of him in the pecking order.
However, Ipswich could now be set to rescue Williams from his Old Trafford nightmare.
The Championship side are managed by former United coach Kieran McKenna.
After winning promotion from League One last term, Ipswich have already won their first three games in the second tier.
And Teamtalk claims McKenna has identified Williams as an ideal loan signing for his ambitious side.
It isn’t the first high-profile player Ipswich have targeted since returning to the Championship.
Earlier this summer they secured a loan deal with Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson.
He joined the Blues from Arsenal a year ago and hopes an impressive spell with Ipswich will boost his chances for a first-team role at Stamford Bridge.

Similarly, Williams could yet end up having a future at United should he prove himself in a new environment.
He made his Red Devils debut in 2019 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, coming on as a sub in the Carabao Cup against Rochdale.
Williams soon earned his first start for United against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.
And his impressive performances saw many fans tipping him to replace Luke Shaw at left-back.
However, Williams dropped out of the first-team reckoning the following season.
He ended up spending the 2021/22 campaign on loan at Norwich, playing 29 times in all competitions.
And Williams played just once last term for United, getting just five minutes in the Carabao Cup against Burnley.
