The Red Devils academy product was sentenced to a 14-month jail term after a 99mph car crash. Now, after a rough two years which has seen him not feature in a competitive game since December 2023 he is ready to return to the pitch.
Williams has impressed during a trial period at Hull City, with reports suggesting that the Tigers are set to offer him a contract within the next few days before the season begins this weekend. The young defender has come off the bench twice for the Tigers, impressing in matches against both Getafe and Sunderland which has led manager Sergej Jakirović to prepare a contract offer.
Speaking last week, the Bosnia coach spoke highly of the trialist who has been working hard behind the scenes to make his return to the pitch and therefore professional football possible.
"I like to help people because everyone deserves a second chance in life," he said.
"I spoke with him very honestly, and I explained to him what I expect from him. We will be very careful, very, very slow. We have time, so we will try to help him.
"I think the quality is there because he was on a high level at Man United, so his quality is there. We need him to bring good fitness, and then we will make a decision. For me, his mentality is good. From our conversations, he's a very normal guy.
"He just asked me yesterday (Monday), 'can I play?' and then I asked him, 'do you feel comfortable to play some minutes?' His desire is there, and so is the hard work. On Saturday, we left him here in Hull to carry on training and so far, everything has gone according to the plan."
However, The Daily Mail report that a number of British sides are interested in the young defender which could prove to be a problem for Hull if they do not get Williams to sign on the dotted line soon.
