Wes Brown believes Brandon Williams' tenacity is helping him stand out as a key player for Manchester United this season.
The 19-year-old only made his debut in September after an impressive start to the season playing for the club at various youth levels.
Williams was not one of the youngsters to be given a chance in pre-season by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and instead had to wait until the Carabao Cup encounter against Rochdale before he got his chance.
The left-back has since made 20 appearances for the first team, with his performances so impressive United have put plans to sign a new left-back on hold.
Hopes are high for Williams at Old Trafford and Brown believes the youngster's tenacity has given him a great platform to succeed at the club.
“He gets stuck in and every challenge, he accepts,” Brown told United Review.
“He doesn't try to shy away from anything. He won't back down. Some managers, when you come up against a young lad, they're telling you that he's only young, only had a few games, try to get at him a little bit. I'm sure that will have happened with Brandon, but he accepts the challenge every time.
“As a defender, it's always important to win your first couple of challenges in a game. If you do that, then your opponents have to rethink what they're going to do. If he's handling every situation they put him in, it becomes difficult for them. Before the game the experienced pros will be trying to get at him, but it seems like he likes that. He accepts the challenge and takes it on, which is very important.
“What I like about him is that he doesn't seem to be fazed. He basically plays his own game. I think Ole has seen what he can do, he knows he gets forward and can do it comfortably, and he's happy to let Brandon play his own game. It's very exciting.”
