“I’ve Always Loved Manchester United, but One Thing Changed My Mind—Now I’m Ready to Join,” Says Nico Williams Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams has revealed that he grew up as a Manchester United fan and initially rejected a move to Barcelona last summer in favor of joining the Red Devils. However, he ultimately changed his decision due to one key factor.

Manchester United Enter Race to Sign Athletic Bilbao Winger Nico Williams

Manchester United have reportedly joined the race to sign Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams this summer, competing with Arsenal and Chelsea for the highly-rated Spain international.

The 22-year-old winger has been a key target for multiple top clubs, and United are now believed to be in a strong position to secure his signature.

With the Red Devils planning a major squad overhaul, potential departures of players like Marcus Rashford, Antony, and possibly Alejandro Garnacho could free up funds for a marquee signing like Williams.

Williams, who was previously linked with Barcelona, decided to stay at Bilbao last year but is now expected to move on. His decision could significantly impact Arsenal and Chelsea’s transfer strategies, forcing them to look at alternative targets.

For United, landing Williams would be a major statement under new manager Ruben Amorim, who is looking to reshape the squad after a challenging start.

Whether Williams chooses Old Trafford or opts for another Premier League giant remains to be seen, but his future will be one of the summer’s biggest transfer storylines.
