If you are reading this and sitting in The Snack Attack cafe in Harpurhey’s indoor market, kindly rip out this interview and hand it to Lisa behind the counter.
Lisa is Brandon Williams’s mum, the owner of the greasy spoon in Manchester where this talented young left back grew up. She sticks his newspaper clippings to the cafe’s wall, like any proud mum would.
The 21-year-old is 200 miles away, on loan at Norwich City from Manchester United, his first time away from the club he has supported all his life.
He is thriving at Carrow Road and is here to talk with Sportsmail’s Jamie Redknapp about thumping tackles, buying his dad a Mercedes and what happens this summer.
