Manchester United have officially completed the signing of Spanish winger Nico Williams on a five-year deal, with an option to extend for a sixth season. The 22-year-old arrives from Athletic Bilbao and shared his excitement during his first press conference at Old Trafford.
“It’s an incredible honour and a dream come true to join the Premier League’s greatest club,” Williams said. “I’m thrilled to be here and will give everything I have to help bring success to this amazing team.”
Williams joins United following an impressive season in La Liga, where he played a key role in Bilbao’s attacking setup. His standout performances attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe, but United moved swiftly to secure his signature by reportedly triggering a £47 million release clause.
Renowned for his speed and ability to operate on both wings, Williams is expected to bring fresh energy and versatility to Manchester United’s front line. His direct style and willingness to take on defenders make him a valuable new option for the squad.
United manager Erik ten Hag expressed his approval of the signing, emphasizing the winger’s potential impact. “Nico is an exciting and talented player with the kind of dynamic qualities we value in this team. His arrival gives us greater depth and more tactical flexibility in attack,” Ten Hag noted.
Williams’ move to Old Trafford marks a major step forward in his career after rising through the ranks at Athletic Bilbao. His ambition and hard work have earned him a place at one of football’s most prestigious clubs.
With the new season on the horizon, Manchester United supporters are eager to see Williams in action, hoping his talent and drive will help lead the team to future success. All eyes will be on the young Spaniard as he embarks on this new chapter at the Theatre of Dreams.
