* Gary Neville offered up unique praise on Man United star Brandon Williams
* The 19-year-old 'would eat his opponent's nose to win the match,' Neville said
* Williams impressed once again as United overcame Wolves in an FA Cup replay
Gary Neville insists that 19-year-old Brandon Williams would 'eat his opponents nose to win the match' as he lauded the performance of the Manchester United teenager against Wolves.
Williams has emerged as a breakout star under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and is in the running to be the club's first-choice left-back ahead of Luke Shaw moving forward.
His performance in the 1-0 FA Cup third-round replay win will not have hurt his chances and Neville, who played at full-back during his career at United, heaped praise on the academy starlet.
Brandon Williams received a glowing assessment from Gary Neville after his game vs Wolves. The former Manchester United full-back feels Williams 'would eat his opponents nose to win'
Williams' emergence has been one of the bright sparks for United in a campaign that has been plagued by inconsistency.
The teenager has capitalised on fleeting opportunities with injuries to Shaw and Ashley Young opening up opportunities for him to stake a claim for more minutes.
The 1-0 win over Wolves meant that United produced back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since September and Williams takes confidence that strong foundations at the back can guide them to success.
Williams' emergence has been one of the best moments of Manchester United's season so far. He has shown composure beyond his years and is contention to start against Liverpool next
'As long as we don't concede, we know we're going to score,' Williams told MUTV on Wednesday night.
'If we do our job at the back and the full team puts the shift in, I'm sure we'll get the win like we did.'
Gary Lineker also took time to highlight Williams on social media, writing: 'The more I watch Brandon Williams, the more I like what I see. Another exciting young English talent.'
Along with Neville's praise, Williams already appears to have the trust of his manager which ensures he has a bright future at United.
Speaking after a win against Burnley in December, Solskjaer said: 'He's never let us down.
'He's a top young kid, never fazed, he's got a great attitude, confident, he can go forward, defend, he's brave, he's got everything a Man United kid should have.
'That's why he's playing, you're never scared of putting Brandon in any type of game.'
Williams will hope he has done enough to earn a start against table-toppers Liverpool this weekend when United make the trip to Anfield.
