Manchester United making enquiries for Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams
Manchester United have been making discreet enquiries to understand the situation of Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams ahead of the summer transfer window, according to the BBC. Man United want another left-back at the Old Trafford club next season, and the ‘incredible’ Williams is on their radar. The Red Devils are not the only club keen on the 25-year-old Wales international, with Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Everton also keen.
