BRANDON WILLIAMS showed Manchester United what they’re missing as he scored an incredible solo goal for Championship high-flyers Ipswich.
As Red Devils fans lamented Victor Lindelof becoming the “200th United ace to play left-back” this season, academy star Williams lit up the field with his second goal in just eight games.

The 23-year-old is on loan at Ipswich until next summer.
And he looks like he could put in a solid shift for his parent club after netting in the Tractor Boys’ 4-2 win over Preston.
With the score tied at 1-1, Williams picked up the ball in the centre of the park before embarking on a powerful charge towards the visitors’ goal.
He then unleashed a rocket of a shot, sending the ball flying past Preston goalie Freddie Woodman for 2-1.
The goal certainly excited United fans, who have seen FIVE different players fill in at left-back this season.
Luke Shaw was No1 before getting injured, and his deputy Sergio Reguilon is also sidelined.
Right-back Diogo Dalot and midfielder Sofyan Amrabat have filled in the gaps this term.
And youngster Tyrell Malacia hasn’t even featured after failing to shrug off a problem from last term.

Centre-back Lindelof became the latest man to play at left-back, struggling to impress in United’s dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Brentford.
And supporters threw their weight behind a recall for Williams in January, with none of their current “200” left-back options yet to impress.
One said: “Victor Lindelof the 200th person this season to play at left-back…”
Another declared: “Recall in January? Who says no?”
One noted: “United could do with him right now.”
Another added: “That’s prime Gareth Bale.”
