- Published
Manchester United winger Ethan Williams has joined Falkirk on loan after signing a new contract at Old Trafford.
The 19-year-old has agreed a deal that will run until 2028, with the option of a further year.
Williams spent the second half of last season with Cheltenham Town in English League Two, scoring twice in 17 games.
He featured in United's summer friendlies, netting in a 4-1 victory over Bournemouth in Chicago.
Falkirk manager John McGlynn said the teenager is "quick, direct, and has an eye for goal".
The Bairns boss added: "He's a young player of real quality who has been developed in one of the best academies in the world.
"Ethan is a player we've had our eye on for some time, we were chasing this deal since before the window even opened. It's been a long road getting him to Falkirk with plenty of twists and turns along the way, but we always felt it was worth persevering with and we're delighted to finally get it over the line."
