In a rather underwhelming start to the current campaign, Manchester United haven't exactly had too much to shout about.

Mason Greenwood's emergence onto the scene has arguably been the one bright spark, and after the game against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night, Brandon Williams may offer the Red Devils some hope for the future too.

The 19-year-old made his Europa League debut against the Dutch side, and in a largely poor team performance, was one of the rare individuals to come away with some credit.

The teenager registered a 90% pass accuracy on his 59 passes, and made two tackles over the course of the game. As per Sofascore, his 7.4 match rating was the third-highest of any United player.

After seeing the academy product's display, United fans flooded to Twitter to share their thoughts about the latest youngster to make his mark on the first-team.

Many supporters of the Manchester side insisted Williams represented the only silver lining of the match, and praised his performance.

Some Red Devils fans even suggested he is already better than Luke Shaw, and urged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to give him a regular chance in the first-team.
