Football Insider reports that Manchester United's interest in Nottingham Forest fullback Neco Williams has been complicated by rival advances from Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

Manchester United could open talks for Nottingham Forest's Neco Williams. A move to United particularly appeals to Williams, as it would provide him an opportunity to advance his career. Williams is open to joining United even though he developed at rivals Liverpool.

According to BBC Sport’s senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel, Manchester United are interested in signing Neco Williams from Nottingham Forest this summer and have registered their interest with Forest. It is understood that Manchester United are among the clubs to have registered interest in Williams while talks over a new contract with Forest are ongoing. Forest are confident Williams will stay by agreeing to new terms, but the interest from Manchester United has created a potential obstacle. Transfermarkt values the defender at €28m (£24m), but Forest would likely demand a much larger fee if interested clubs opened formal talks.

Manchester United are maintaining interest in Neco Williams, who has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs. There have been reports of discreet enquiries from several teams, with Manchester United mentioned. CaughtOffside has been informed by sources close to the agents industry that Forest are not looking to sell Williams. Forest are ready to offer Neco Williams improved terms to reward his progress and to counter outside interest. Williams is already under contract until 2029, and Forest confirmed that contract extension.
