Hired Manchester United defender Brandon Williams is being investigated by Norwich City after the full-back’s post on Instagram was deleted.
Williams made his breakthrough at United in the 2019/20 season, but found himself out of the team in the following campaign due to Luke Shaws resurgence.
This season he has been loaned out to Norwich in an attempt to get him more first-team football, and he has been one of the few successes for the Suffolk team.
It is unlikely that Williams will be back at the club next season, with Dean Smith’s team facing at least a year left in the Championship following their relegation.
Although the club is now said to be investigating his social media activity, according to Athletic, after he posted a picture with his middle finger that showed with the caption “What a beautiful day. Look up Norwich City,” also location that tagged Suffolk.
The bizarre post was deleted from his Instagram story shortly after and was soon replaced by a few slides about his two dogs, much healthier content.
First, the fullback posted a video of his dog sitting outside enjoying the sun, with the caption: “For the people who followed me, he’s always awake,” followed by a bunch of laughing emojis.
It was then accompanied by a black-and-white image on the next slide of another dog, with the caption “So is she,” with four smiling emojis.
The gang against his current club could be seen as an incident involving Brentford striker Ivan Toney earlier in the season when the striker was on holiday.
Brentford investigated the incident and the striker apologized and said: “I have explained to the forger what happened and apologized to him but I would also like to apologize to all Brentford fans.
“I respect the way you all support the team and I have to say how much I love playing for the club and for you.”
Williams himself went viral on social media earlier in the season for much more fun and healthier reasons as Norwich played against Tony’s side.
