Ipswich boss McKenna delighted with Man Utd loanee Williams after wonder goal

Manchester United's on-loan left-back Brandon Williams has continued his impressive start to life with Ipswich Town.

The defender, who can also play at right-back, is not in United's future first team plans.

However, he is showcasing his talents in the Championship, scoring a superb solo goal for Ipswich in a 4-2 win over Preston.

Williams won the ball near the half-way line and ran at the Preston defense, before eventually striking the ball into the corner of the net.

"The second was an incredible goal and Brandon showed that drive and determination all game," said Ipswich boss and former United first team coach Kieran McKenna.

"We needed that today.

"[It was] a good performance, he's getting stronger game by game. Getting back into good habits as a football player and as a defender, on and off the ball.

"He's getting back towards the levels that I know he's capable of but I think, more importantly, it's about pushing him past those levels because he's young and hopefully he's got some good years in his career and big moments ahead of him."
