Who is Willy Kambwala? Young Manchester United defender named on bench vs Liverpool

17.12.2023 - 16:21 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

French youngster Willy Kambwala has been with Manchester United for three years, making a name for himself in the youth teams.

In 2020, United signed him from Ligue 2 side Sochaux for around £3.5million when he was just 16. He was seen as a big signing for the future, but at 19 he's still yet to play for the first team.

After an injury, he's hoping to show what he can do this season. He's already had a taste of the senior squad, training with them during last season's injury crisis and has now been named in Erik ten Hag's squad for the Premier League clash with Liverpool at Anfield.
