Williams will overtake Shaw at left-back for Man Utd - Spector

The emergence of Brandon Williams at Manchester United will spell the end of Luke Shaw’s career at Old Trafford, according to Jonathan Spector.

The former United States international once patrolled the left side of the defence at United as Shaw and Williams do now, and he thinks the former will play a key role in his team-mate's development before being replaced by the younger man.

Williams is just 19-years-old, and has made just nine appearances so far after breaking through this season, but he’s done enough to convince Spector he deserves an opportunity to show he can be the main man for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the future.
