His famous uncle is a legend in Manchester City who became the first black goalkeeper to play in the English top flight.
But Manchester United -young Ethan Williams has no time to worry about torn family coyality between the red and blue side of the city.
That is because the 19-year-old winger is too busy to break into the Premier League team of Ruben Amorim for their season opener against Arsenal on August 16.
Local Manchester Lad Ethan's “Dreams Came Ware” when he scored his first United Goal during the 4-1 victory of the club over Bournemouth in Chicago on Wednesday.
A minute after emerging, the Academy graduated was present to pick up the ball from the box after the new signing Diego Leon stumbled while driving to the goal.
And before you knew it, Ethan cut, which is just as sharp with both feet, cut inwards and a devastating right foot finish in former Chelsea stopper Djordje Petrovic's Near Post.
Rarely does this united team score four goals. And rarely – or ever – Amorim celebrates when they touch the back of the net.
Fans will even be hard to be pressed to remember a few times when the Portuguese Gaffer jumped up and down through the sidelines. We just never saw it.
Amorim said, 40,: “I celebrated that goal.
“It is usually not even during the season, but I celebrated that goal because I really like to see the children who work really well, who don't have much room during training, but they are there.

“They understand the idea, they print and fight. They have checked the game, so I'm happy.”
Ethan had expected that he would spend a lot of this summer working with young people under 21, only for Amorim to nod last week for their pre-season tour to the United States.
But while Ethan of Old Trafford Glory dreams, his uncle Alex, 63, is a real blue icon that would also celebrate somewhere.
Alex wrote history when he became the first black goalkeeper to play in the old first division in 1980 and appeared 125 performances for City until 1985.
He is also a celebrated figure for his incredible 33 years with City in The Community and earns an MBE in 2002 – three years before Ethan was born – for his work with young people.
And that saw Alex becoming a member of club legends David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Ilkay Gundogan in having a pitch in the training area named after him.
The local ex -stop -side moss She is even included in a dazzling wall painting in Platt Lane, Fallowfield, Manchester -Meter from where he grew up close to the old Maine Road Stadium of City.
The proud uncle mapped the highlights and lows of his career in an autobiography from 2023 who also hit a teenager who made waves at Carrington.
In his book 'You Saw Me Standing Alone', Alex wrote: 'Ethan is progressing well and has the potential to go completely.
“He is the younger son of my brother Lloyd and is in style comparable to former Leroy Sane city wing.
“He is fast, has a great left foot and an eye for goal. He is destined to become a star, although it is a pity that his favorite color is red instead of blue.
“I just hope that Ethan is just as happy during his career as during mine.”
Incidentally, Alex's last city performance came during a 3-0 home destruction against Man Utd, where he gave away a penalty in 1985-one year after lifting the European championships under 21 with England.
After short spells with Queen of the South and Port Vale, Alex hung his gloves at the young age of 25 in 1987 due to recurring back injuries.
Ethan joined United from Rochdale at the age of 14 and settled quickly, later called to participate in the first team training under former boss Erik ten Hag.
The difficult attacker signed his first professional contract with United a year ago in July 2024 and was quickly sent on loan to gain experience in Cheltenham Town.
He has just returned from a fruitful loan saying with the League two side, where he scored twice in 17 performances.
And Ethan may hope for its own mural on the Trafford side of the city in the distant future.
