"I came to the point where I was at the age of needing to play football, not just sit there and lose years," Brandon Williams told The Athletic about his decision to leave Man United for Norwich on loan.
"I know being there (at United) and training with some of the best players in the world is good, but it is in the games where you learn a lot and get the experience, so I needed to get out and play. I just had to focus on myself. Thankfully, the manager let me go.
"The plan was for me to go out but do the pre-season at United first. People were coming back (late) from the Euros, so the squad wasn’t big. Norwich has been a good choice.
"Whatever club I went to, there would have been a challenge to try to get regular game time. I think it’s good for this club that we have challenges all over the team.
"I spoke to a few people and we found that this was gonna be the best spot for me," he added.
"It’s far away from home, which has both sides to it. Everything I know is in Manchester, my family. But it’s good to get no distractions, just concentrate on my football.
"I’m finally at that point where I’m comfortable and I know everyone here now. I’ve made really good friends. I enjoy the peace and quiet. Get home from training, watch some films and go to sleep."
Williams struggled for game time under Daniel Farke but after Dean Smith was appointed the head coach, he has become a regular starter.
Norwich saw a brief upturn in results with a four-game unbeaten run but now, they've lost three games in a row and saw their match against West Ham postponed this weekend.
