When asked about lack of game-time being given to loanee Brandon Williams, Norwich City manager Daniel Farke said: “Big clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea don’t want it easy for their players.
“If they want to be Manchester United, Chelsea or Tottenham players one day, then they need to make sure that they face this challenge and step up to this challenge.
“For that there is no extra pressure. I am not here to please Manchester United or Chelsea, or Tottenham last season, I am just here to win points for Norwich City.
“It’s not about Billy Gilmour or Brandon Williams, or Kenny McLean or Teemu Pukki who are our players, we just like to play with the players to help us to win points.
“This is the challenge that, for example, our loan players want to have. It is not a gift that we play them because we have loaned them and they want to play many games.
“It is not about Billy Gilmour or Brandon Williams being loan players, or Mathias Normann or Ozan Kabak, to differ them from Teemu Pukki, Dimitris Giannoulis or Kenny McLean or whoever, who are our players.
“It is just up to who are the right players to win us points. There are no gifts and of course the Premier League is a different animal, with all respect, to play and score for Finland like Teemu Pukki or the USA like Josh Sargent, or to play for Scotland like Billy.”
Williams has made only 4 appearances in the Premier League for Norwich so far this season, being benched for the last two games.
He is on loan until the end of the season and United will hope he gets more game-time in order to return to the club with more PL experience next year.
