Man Utd star AVOIDS jail after he crashed Audi in 99mph horror smash with ‘balloon in his mouth'
A FORMER Man Utd star has avoided jail after he was allegedly caught with a balloon in his mouth before he crashed his Audi in a 99mph horror smash. Brandon Williams was driving erratically on the A34 near Handforth in Cheshire on August 20, 2023. 3 Brandon Williams has pleaded guilty to driving dangerously Credit: Andrew Price / View Finder Pictures 3 The former Man Utd player crashed his Audi at 99mph Credit: Getty The 24-year-old was playing for Utd at the time but was loaned to Ipswich for the 2023-24 season. Williams today avoided jail after he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without third party insurance following the high-speed crash. He was instead handed a 14 month sentence, suspended for two years, and banned from driving for three years. Chester Crown Court heard the defender was with a female passenger at the time of the crash. She was seen filming him at one point as Williams reached speeds of 99mph with a balloon in his mouth, it was said. He lost control of the Audi A3 before it collided with a blue Ford Fiesta and then smashed into the central reservation. Williams, who no longer has a team, was breathalysed at the scene but the test was negative. The footballer was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries before he was arrested. Williams told police he was driving the Audi but initially denied he was driving erratically. He also attempted to blame another driver for the crash - telling officers he only hit the central reservation as he was forced to swerve. Williams was asked about witnesses who saw him with a balloon at his mouth but he replied: 'No comment'. The footballer joined United's academy as a youngster and went on to make 51 appearances for the first team. Williams has spent two stints on loan away from Old Trafford — firstly with Norwich City during the 2021/22 season where he made 26 appearances and then Ipswich. In June last year, Utd announced that Williams would leave the club at the end of his contract. Andrew Madden, a senior crown prosecutor with CPS Mersey-Cheshire, said: 'Brandon Williams' driving on that day clearly fell far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver. 'Expert analysis showed that he was driving at 99 mph four seconds before he hit the Ford Fiesta. 'Witnesses said Williams kept speeding up and then breaking sharply. 'It was clear he wasn't in control of the vehicle. 'The driving was erratic and the speed was grossly excessive. 'Eventually, Williams lost control completely and crashed. 'It is a fortunate no one was seriously injured or killed. 'To drive at 99mph in those circumstances was extremely dangerous and placed the lives of other road users at serious risk of harm. 'The Crown Prosecution Service wishes to thank the witnesses for supporting this prosecution.'

Not Cunha or Delap: Sky Sports confirm ‘concrete talks' have taken place between Utd and 64 G/A tornado
Not Cunha or Delap: Sky Sports confirm 'concrete talks' have taken place between Utd and 64 G/A tornado While Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap remain firmly cemented atop Manchester United's shortlist this summer, that's not to say there aren't other targets being pursued behind the scenes. Plenty of the Old Trafford faithful had grown resigned to missing out on Viktor Gyokeres due to his desire to play Champions League football next season, which, of course, the Red Devils can only offer if they reign victorious in the Europa League come May 21. Advertisement Yet, with a two-legged semi-final on the way and a potential final awaiting against either Tottenham Hotspur or Bodø/Glimt, United are undoubtedly one of the major favourites to get their hands on the trophy for the second time in their history, simultaneously booking their spot among Europe's elite next term. Why Gyokeres is one of the most sought-after stars of the summer One look at the Sporting Lisbon talisman's numbers makes it no surprise he's such a major talking point heading into the transfer window. An unfathomable 52 goals and 12 assists in 48 appearances have established Gyokeres as one of the most clinical centre-forwards in world football. With multiple clubs set to enter the market in search of a world-class No.9, he's likely to receive numerous approaches when he signs off in 2024/2025. Who else is in the race? In terms of the suitors, the 26-year-old could potentially choose from, all of Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have emerged as candidates to seal his signature – as well as the Red Devils. Advertisement Premier League-proven Delap is thought to be INEOS' first-choice to rival Rasmus Hojlund for the starting spot up front, but United aren't down and out in their pursuit of Gyokeres just yet. Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg claims that while there's 'no agreement' in place between him and the Reds, 'concrete talks' have taken place and Ruben Amorim is 'very keen on him'. The ex-Coventry City star played 68 matches under Amorim in Lisbon, scoring 66 goals and assisting a further 19.
