After securing a 3-0 triumph over West Ham, the Manchester United stars swiftly laced up their boots for a post-match training session.

 Head coach Erik ten Hag directed his focus towards the reserve players, emphasizing their participation in the practice, while the main players engaged in separate sessions to recuperate.

Notably, the training session unveiled the presence of Brandon Williams, a player who had seemingly faded from fans’ memories while still on the Red Devils’ payroll.

Williams had previously been loaned to Ipswich Town in the Championship during the summer of 2023, featuring in 15 matches and scoring 2 goals. 

Despite his return to Manchester United for undisclosed reasons, breɑking into the main team proved challenging for Williams.

Scott McTominay, entering as a substitute, contributed with 1 assist during the resounding 3-0 victory against West Ham.

 Meanwhile, Christian Eriksen appears open to a reserve role as emerging talent Kobbie Mainoo excels. 

Amad Diallo, too, patiently awaits his opportunity, with coach Ten Hag currently favoring Alejandro Garnacho on the right wing.

With a challenging fixture against Aston Villa scheduled for February 11, the Red Devils find themselves in a demanding phase. 

The recent setback of losing Lisandro Martinez for at least 2 months adds to the team’s challenges.

 Manchester United must capitalize on every opportunity as the bɑttle for a top-four finish intensifies towards the end of the season.
