Similar to Tuanzebe, Williams has been a name that is very familiar to Manchester United's hierarchy for some time. Williams has never been called up to the Red Devils first-team, but with the way he is improving each year, it will not be long until he does get the call.

The benefit of having someone like Williams is his versatility. Williams can play on either the left or the right side as a centre-back, as well as in right-back. The England U-19 defender has a very good turn of speed and his passing range is very accomplished for his age.

Perhaps this year is a bit too soon for him under Mourinho, but he will certainly be one to watch with the way he is continuing his development in the youth teams.
