I used to know a lad with the surname Bakayoko, he was white as well.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

17 year olds can only sign a maximum 2 year contract. The only difference between this & every other young player signing a contract throughout the years is that it's more public because he's been playing in the first team & it's a 4 year contract rather than the usual 2/3 year contract because the club rates him. There's nothing hasty about it at all since it's basically a no risk but potentially high reward situation.
You haven't seen him with a tan then
V Partizan Belgrade
Very good tonight. Should be given chance at LB for the league
We have the next Phillip Lahm!
Quality performance from the lad, growing more and more with every game, with tonight being his highlight I feel. Shaw should be worried.
Him and Romero were the only players who were playing today.
Unlucky for Brendan we have an amazing player ahead of him and he is the captain and also sells the young, courage and success line.
We all know he won't because Ole has his clique but getting game time in the EL will suffice. More good performances will see him force his way into the side.
His understanding of the game is impressive.
Credit where it's due, he was very good when defending and attacking.
He seems to have it all. Pace, technique and decision making. Let’s hope he keeps it together and grows into becoming a solid LB.
Having seen countless young talents come and go, I would just be chuffed if the lad could make himself a solid backup LB.

Plays with the heart. Seems to have "adapted" to the senior level quickly in that he seems relaxed and sure about what to do. Might benefit from playing with a lower intensity in some situation. Better at passing than most of the other players out there.
MOTM. More of this kid please.
First time Ive watched him and he's excellent. He should be ahead of Shaw
Better than anything Ashley Young has shown in years. Should be above him in the pecking order.
Shaw will only get worried when they close Nando's
Only bright spark on another abomination of a night.
Launches forward with reckless abandon, like Alex Buttner with fewer stepovers. He is great.
Is it even that controversial to say he's got more potential than Shaw?
Shaw was playing at a higher level at 16 years of age - but that means nothing now.
williams makes those runs forward with speed and desire that you’d expect from shaw. We know how important fullbacks are and having that energy overlapping is vital.
This kid is going to be all over shaw if he doesn’t get his act together! Might just save us having to invest in another this summer.
I thought he was excellent today, our best player tonight.
I've got more potential than Shaw, I turn up for work at least and don't have takeaway every night.
I like the look of the lad and the greatest compliment I can give him is he's looking first team material with little adaption.
Shaw should be worried as we've got a fantastic young talent breaking through.

Very impressed, especially in 2nd half.
Amazing from him tonight when you consider the atmosphere, and the lack of bollocks from the men around him.
But CBJ once had me convinced he would be our left back for years to come, so I'm going to hold back.

Good performance. Did well to win the penalty. Competed hard. A bit fortunate to get away with hand-ball given the way decisions have been going recently.
Watch him sitting on the bench, so we can watch hoofs from YOungy
Excellent tonight. So refreshing to have a full back who acts as an attacking outlet.
Am I right saying he's right footed?

Man of the match. Can we please play this kid instead of captain Young from now on? Thanks Ole.
Clear MOTM. Wish he was left footed though.
Deserves a chance ahead of Ashley young.
I guess he is the natural successor to Young as a right-footed LB. 
Hopefully Williams gets more chances.
Hopefully Williams gets more chances.Very good. He needs to work on his left foot if he wants to be a lb.
Already fitter than Shaw, looks promising. Now let's try not to hype him up so much we then destroy him
Looks like it yes.
A really good performance from him, showed a lot of composure.
Ole seemed really pleased with him just then speaking to MUTV.
It would be nice to have him as our first name left back, but I don't want to get carried away.

Very impressed with him.
Plays with the right attitude as well. Shaw could learn from Williams attitude alone.

I’m not really a fan of right footed left backs. Think Ashley Young has me scarred for life. Looks promising though
Would love it if he played ahead of Young from now on. Even if he's not ready, it's not like Young has set the bar high.
He was very good defensively which was a surprise for me as I saw some listing that as one of his weaknesses.
