“Liverpool and Barcelona made great offers, but I chose Man United because of this ONE player – I don’t want to risk our friendship” – Nico Williams finally reveals why he picked Manchester United over giants like Barça and Liverpool! Can’t wait for this dangerous trio of Garnacho, Amad & Nico Williams

In a bombshell press conference that’s sent Manchester United fans into a frenzy, Spanish winger Nico Williams has finally opened up about his summer decision — and it turns out it was friendship, not money, that sealed the deal.
The highly sought-after Athletic Club star confirmed he had received serious offers from European giants Liverpool and Barcelona, but ultimately chose Manchester United to protect a special bond with one particular Red Devils star.
“Liverpool and Barcelona made great offers, but I chose Man United because of this ONE player,” Nico revealed. “I didn’t want to risk our friendship. It means too much to me.”
Though Williams initially kept the identity of the player private, it didn’t take long for insiders and reporters to connect the dots — and it’s none other than Alejandro Garnacho.
The two young stars, both electric wingers with fiery personalities, struck up a strong friendship at youth international levels and during various football events in recent years. Sources close to both camps confirm that Garnacho played a key role behind the scenes, personally pushing for Nico to join him at Old Trafford and be part of the club’s exciting rebuild under Erik ten Hag.
“We’ve talked about playing together for years,” Nico added with a grin. “When the chance came to finally make it happen, I couldn’t turn it down — no matter what other clubs offered.”
The announcement now sets up what fans are calling a “dangerous trio for the future”: Garnacho, Amad Diallo, and Nico Williams — three of the brightest young attacking talents in Europe, all under one roof at Old Trafford.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag spoke highly of the move as well, teasing supporters about what’s to come.
“Nico is a top talent and more importantly, he understands the values we’re building at this club. Chemistry matters. Having players like Nico, Garnacho, and Amad who genuinely want to fight for each other is priceless,” Ten Hag said.
As the Red Devils prepare for the upcoming season, fans are already imagining the fireworks this new attacking trio could ignite in the Premier League and Champions League.
One thing is clear: Nico Williams chose friendship, family, and football legacy over big paychecks — and Manchester United supporters couldn’t be happier.
