<\/p>\n

Manchester United defender Brandon Williams will face a trial next year after pleading not guilty to accusations of driving dangerously before a high speed crash last August.<\/p>\n

Williams appeared in Chester Crown court today (Friday) to be given his trial date which will be March 17 2025, and is expected to last three days.<\/p>\n

As reported by The Sun<\/a>, the defender is accused of dangerous driving in his Audi S Line on the A34 dual carriageway Wilmslow bypass in Cheshire, as well as driving without insurance.<\/p>\n

Dressed in a dark suit, Williams pleaded “not guilty” to the both charges and has been granted unconditional bail.<\/p>\n

The court heard that Williams’s defence team would be instructing experts to give evidence on his behalf and there would be a recording of a 999 call, as well as items recovered from the scene.<\/p>\n

Williams is currently on loan at Championship-toppers Ipswich Town but hasn’t featured in 2024 due to injury.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old fullback has returned to United<\/a> to complete his recovery and it’s unlikely he will feature in the important run-in for Keiran McKenna’s side.<\/p>\n

Ipswich are currently a point clear at the top of the Championship table and two clear of Leeds in third, in what is a fascinating battle for promotion to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Since breaking into the first team under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Williams has gone onto make 51 appearances for United but failed to nail down a regular spot in the team.<\/p>\n

He spent the 2021\/22 season on loan with Norwich, making 26 appearances for The Canaries and does look a decent fit at Championship level.<\/p>\n

Ironically, given United’s injury plagued<\/a> season, particularly at left-back, had Williams<\/a> stayed at Old Trafford, he might have had the chance to chalk up some meaningful minutes for his boyhood side.<\/p>\n

However, United are expected to go into the market in the summer and the full-back’s long term future is likely to lie away from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
