He was once again a key man as United recorded a clean sheet during their 1-0 FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves, with Juan Mata grabbing the decisive goal.
Williams' has a growing reputation, with Lineker the latest to pass comment on the teenager's impressive performances.
On Twitter, Lineker wrote: "The more I watch Brandon Williams, the more I like what I see. Another exciting young English talent."
Similarly, United legend Paul Scholes has insisted that Williams should be regarded as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first-choice left-back.
"You'd have to choose him (Williams) at the moment," Scholes told BT Sport ahead of United's FA Cup third-round replay with Wolves.
"I do like Luke Shaw but he just can't string a run of games, he can't get that fitness which he needs to play for Manchester United and be up and down the wing all the time. At the minute Brandon Williams is doing that so he is in pole position."
On Williams, Scholes added: "He's an excellent defender but he can also get forward as well. He's got quality, he's a talented lad and he'll get up and down the pitch.
"He's got two good feet, I think he's more of a right-footed left-back which is strange. He's got the quality to get forward and the quality to score goals."

As well as being a recruitment consultant, he is also a semi-pro footballer for Oxford City FC.
Finley is a defender for the National League South club after joining in July 2019 following a successful trial.
He started playing football at the age of eight when he joined the Milton Keynes Dons academy and in 2018, he signed a professional deal with the club.
Finley had a brief stint at Staines Town on loan but was then dropped by MK Dons in January last year.
He then signed for Oxford City with club boss Mark Jones praising his players pre-season performance.
And according to the Oxford Mail, Finn was still playing for the team last weekend when Oxford suffered a 3-0 defeat to Dartford in a Vanarama National League South contest.
It wasn't a good game for the defender personally either suffered a knock to the head and was stretchered off in the eighth minute.
A spokesperson also said when Finn's inclusion in Love Island was announced that they were not informed of him leaving.
They tweeted from the Oxford City FC account: "Oxford City FC would like to wish their player Finn Tapp good luck as he enters love island 2020. The club would like to clarify some of the information inaccurately presented in some press articles regarding Finns head injury status.
"Following a nasty clash of heads in Saturdays game at Dartford Finn was carefully removed from the field of play on a stretcher and examined thoroughly by Dartford FC’s match day doctor and the clubs lead Sports therapist.
"Finn did not lose consciousness and was closely monitored throughout the game, after the game and further monitoring of symptoms undertaken for the next 24 hours.
"Due to the nature of the injuries further assessments were due to take place ahead of any return to playing and the management staff were aware he would not be available for selection until medical clearance had taken place."
They added: "The club was not aware Finn Tapp was going on Love Island - this is normal protocol for all contestants. We understand and wish Finn luck on the show."
The account then tweeted a video of the defender scoring a winning goal with the message: "Here is #FinnTapp scoring the winner two weeks ago against league leaders Wealdstone, but will he score on @LoveIsland?"
Hopefully he'll have better luck in the villa.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-15--Juan Mata shows Manchester United what they need in the transfer window

Manchester United need a playmaker yet Juan Mata still makes them play .
For the second successive match , Mata conducted United 's youthful orchestra when none of the juniors relished taking on the baton .
Mata 's decisive dink over John Ruddy was only his second in a campaign where Mata has been restricted to six Premier League starts .

United 's attack is always one injury away from collapse and Marcus Rashford literally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cameo .
The United forward lasted 14 minutes after a collision with the Wolves wing-back Matt Doherty that left him prone and United supporters praying for his fitness .

The Daily Mail claim that 'behind the scenes, the process of identifying potential replacements has begun' with Tottenham stalwart Kane and Inter star Martinez 'among the candidates.'
However, it's then reported that 'out of respect to Aguero, City chiefs are said to be reluctant to make concrete advances towards a potential move for a new centre-forward' and will allow him to 'decide his own exit strategy.'
Aguero is expected to want a return to his boyhood club Independiente in Argentina.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have reportedly lined up Man City defender Aymeric Laporte.
El Gol Digital claim the Spanish giants are looking to replace Samuel Umtiti in defence, who has been plagued by injuries in recent years.
It's reported that they are interested in the Frenchman but City have no interest in selling their star defender.

Desperate, suicidal and in court: The woman arrested after threatening to take her own life says police 'don't know what to do with me'

A troubled teenager deemed a public nuisance has been convicted again after police stepped in to pull her to safety on a busy road .
The young woman , who the M.E.N has chosen not to name , has been in court a number of times having threatened to take her own life in public places .
Following her most recent case , the teenager said the emergency services simply 'do n't know what to do with me ' .
`` They just do n't get it , `` she added .
Police say they work with partner agencies including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mental health trust in Manchester said that people with 'enduring , complex ' mental health needs must still comply with the law .
The latest legal action has been described as 'deeply worrying ' by Salford MP Barbara Keeley .
The young woman was hauled in front of magistrates by Greater Manchester Police on Tuesday for the third time in nine months .
She was ordered to pay £100 compensation each to two police officers she scratched while threatening to take her own life .
The court heard she has a history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diagnosed with 'emotional and unstable personality disorder ' .
Sadly , there have been a number of occasions when she has threatened to take her own life that have led to her criminal prosecution .
Last year , the college student from Salford was convicted of causing a 'public nuisance ' when she threatened to jump off a motorway bridge in Greater Manchester .
She was convicted of the same charge in similar circumstances later that year .
On both occasions , police have argued that her actions caused thousands of motorists to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pounds in policing resources .
She was still serving a community order for those offences when she was again arrested by Greater Manchester Police last Sunday .
The court heard she had once again left hospital before being seen by mental health professionals and officers were called to look for her .
She was located near the East Lancs road by two women police constables but ran off when she saw them , the court was told .
The officers gave pursuit and managed to detain her on the central reservation .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ girl was asking to be 'let go ' and was 'digging her nails ' into the officers ' hands .
She was subsequently charged with two counts of 'assault by beating of an emergency worker ' .
In a statement read to the court , one of the officers said : `` My aim was to protect her from herself and in doing so I then became the victim . ''
The court heard that the defendant was held in custody and during this time , wrote her name in her own blood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For this , she was charged with a third count of criminal damage and held on remand for more than 24 hours before she appeared in court on Tuesday afternoon .
District judge John Timperley asked the probation officer in court if she had been attending the community order imposed for her previous offences .
`` They are struggling to engage with [ her ] , '' the officer said .
`` She has only attended one appointment so far . ''
Mr Timperley then asked : `` If she 's not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's crossed the custody threshold , there 's no other alternative than prison , is what I 'm getting at ? ''
In her defence , the woman told the court the officers had 'grabbed her by the neck ' and as a result she had 'scratched back ' .
She told judge Timperley she had n't attended her community order appointments because paperwork had been incorrectly sent to her old address and she was now staying with her sister .
`` The public services are actually trying to assist you , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' judge Timperley told the defendant .
`` This court has imposed an order , in part , to you with the way you have been behaving in the past few months , do you understand ?
`` You seem to be ignoring that .
`` It looks like you almost want to be sent to prison .
`` If I do n't send you to prison are you going to engage [ with the community order ] ? ''
She replied : `` Yes , I had an appointment this morning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' Judge Timperley continued : `` The incident on the East Lancs road was incredibly serious - both you and the officers could have been hurt .
`` You must get help for your mental health difficulties rather than wasting the time of people need to provide a service to the public . ''
Judge Timperley said he would impose a twelve month conditional discharge on her but also ordered her to pay £100 compensation to each of the officers she assaulted .
There was no further order for costs .
The court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Universal Credit , and the fines will be deducted from this at a rate of £10 a week .
Speaking after the case , she said : `` It 's just a pile of s*** .
Every time I go to A & E , they do n't know what to do with me .
`` They just do n't get it .
`` People with personality disorders ... they do n't know what to do with it .
I 've told them lots of times - it 's only going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their life . ''
Barbara Keeley , MP for Worsley & Eccles South and Shadow Cabinet Minister for Mental Health , questioned whether this prosecution was in the public interest .
Speaking to the M.E.N , Ms Keeley said : `` There are a number of deeply worrying issues raised by this case .
`` This young woman , experiencing a mental health crisis , should have been taken to hospital not held in a police cell .
It ’ s also concerning that the police in Salford continue to prosecute a young @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems for her actions when she was in extreme distress .
`` When the police intervene to support someone in a mental health crisis their role should be to provide support , not to criminalise their actions.
” '' It ’ s not at all clear how this prosecution is in the public interest when this young woman is in desperate need of support from mental health services , not fines and criminal convictions . ''
Greater Manchester Police chose not to comment on the young woman 's case , but a spokesperson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the welfare of the individual and the public .
A GMP spokesperson said : “ When mental health is a factor in criminal proceedings , cases are managed in conjunction with partner agencies , including the NHS , GM Mental Health Services and the National Probation Service to ensure the most appropriate outcome - including the offer of multi-agency support .
“ Our officers are often the first responders to people suffering a mental health crisis , which can be extremely challenging but our main priority is always the welfare of the individual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ With help from our partners in the mental health services , we have trained thousands of officers in how to deal with people with various mental health conditions and help direct individuals to the support they need .

While being detained, prosecutors said the girl was asking to be 'let go' and was 'digging her nails' into the officers' hands.

In a statement read to the court, one of the officers said: "My aim was to protect her from herself and in doing so I then became the victim."
The court heard that the defendant was held in custody and during this time, wrote her name in her own blood on the wall of her police cell.
For this, she was charged with a third count of criminal damage and held on remand for more than 24 hours before she appeared in court on Tuesday afternoon.
District judge John Timperley asked the probation officer in court if she had been attending the community order imposed for her previous offences.
"They are struggling to engage with [her]," the officer said.
"She has only attended one appointment so far."
Mr Timperley then asked: "If she's not suitable for a community order, if it's crossed the custody threshold, there's no other alternative than prison, is what I'm getting at?"
In her defence, the woman told the court the officers had 'grabbed her by the neck' and as a result she had 'scratched back'.

She told judge Timperley she hadn't attended her community order appointments because paperwork had been incorrectly sent to her old address and she was now staying with her sister.

Judge Timperley said he would impose a twelve month conditional discharge on her but also ordered her to pay £100 compensation to each of the officers she assaulted.
There was no further order for costs.
The court heard she receives around £200 every fortnight in Universal Credit, and the fines will be deducted from this at a rate of £10 a week.
Speaking after the case, she said: "It's just a pile of s***. Every time I go to A&E, they don't know what to do with me.
"They just don't get it. "People with personality disorders... they don't know what to do with it. I've told them lots of times - it's only going to take so many times before someone ends their life."
