Brandon Williams trains with former Manchester United teammate Jesse Lingard in LA

Manchester United defender Brandon Williams has linked up with Jesse Lingard as the pair continue their fitness work in Los Angeles through the off-season.

Williams enjoyed a brief holiday following the conclusion of United's 2022/23 campaign and even found time to troll rivals Manchester City after their Treble win.

A long injury lay-off restricted Williams to just five minutes of first-team football last term, and he looks to be taking his summer break seriously in order to avoid a repeat.

The defender posted a picture of himself in LA on his Instagram story on Monday, followed by a video of him and Lingard running down a street.

Williams is one of several fringe players at United who could be sold by Erik ten Hag this summer. The full-back previously enjoyed an encouraging loan spell at Norwich City and is expected to attract interest despite a season destroyed by injury.

The defender will enter the final 12 months of his contract next month, though the club hold the option of an additional year. Reports in Italy have suggested Fiorentina may be interested in a loan deal.

Lingard was released by Nottingham Forest at the end of the season, having failed to make an impact in his one season at the City Ground.
