Febian Brandy (born 4 February 1989 in Manchester, England) is an English footballer currently playing for Swansea City on loan from Manchester United. His regular position is as a striker.
Brandy has been at United since the age of nine, having been invited down to the club's old training ground at The Cliff, after he was spotted playing for his local team, West End Boys. Having recovered from various injuries, including a broken leg, that ruled him out of much of the 2005-06 season, Brandy is now a regular starter in the United reserve team, and scored his first goal for the reserves against Bolton Wanderers in October 2006.
Brandy started up front for United against Liverpool in both legs of the FA Youth Cup final, winning a penalty in the first leg - which Sam Hewson converted - but missing a chance when through on goal in the second leg, which his youth team manager Paul McGuinness described as a "key moment" in the tie which Liverpool won on penalties.[1] Brandy was also the scorer of the only goal in the 2007 Champions Youth Cup final against Juventus[2].
On 17 January 2008, Swansea City claimed that they had signed Brandy on loan until the end of the 2007–08 season.[3] This was confirmed by Manchester United the following morning,[4] and Brandy made his Swansea debut in their match against Port Vale on 19 January 2008, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Paul Anderson.
