The conveyor line of skill at Carrington is continuing to produce standouts like Ethan Williams, who was a star for Manchester United’s youth teams last year.

With seven of those goals coming this season alone, the 18-year-old has now amassed 11 goals and ten assists in all competitions through 2023.

In the most recent FA Youth Cup match at Old Trafford, a 1-0 victory over Derby County, Williams scored the game-winning goal.

Manchester United has swiftly promoted Ethan Williams to the under-21 team, indicating that they have seen his improvement.

 

Even though he isn’t a regular starter for the under-21 team, Williams has been promoted after scoring once and assisting on two goals in the under-18s’ season opener.

He has played in a number of tournaments and scored twice in his lone under-21s league appearance.

Williams, a winger who was signed in 2019 from Rochdale, can play on either the left or right side of the field and has trained with Erik ten Hag’s first team.

The 18-year-old is a promising youngster who may find himself in a key role by the time the 2024–25 season rolls around, if not earlier.

As the FA Youth Cup campaign progresses, Williams will maintain his role for the under-18s and strive to emulate Alejandro Garnacho’s 2022 success.

He had a breakout year in 2023, and if he keeps scoring and assisting, his star will continue to rise, and he may even make his first team debut in the following year.
