Proves that pre-season is just pre-season.

I'd release him, along with Cleverley, Fletcher, and Valencia.
We signed Valencia up to a new contract and no doubt we will do the same with Young and Cleverley. They should have all been shipped out and replaced this window .
 
That dive was pathetic. I hope we never see him play for united again, but unfortunately he could start on Saturday.

Him and Cleverley should be at West ham or a West Brom as they are fecking hopeless
 
He's beyond shit, made their RB look like Cafu on him. Blackett had one cross without controlling the ball which looked a million time more dangerous than anything he's produced. Young gives hope to people at least, that despite being incompetent you can still have a great job.
 
We really should have tried to get rid of him in the Summer. Even when you think we've changed to a system where there is no place in the team for him, he has somehow wormed his way in there. Why, Van Gaal, why?

This. I was watching a match with my little bro and he said the same thing, all he does is cuts back inside and crosses which either goes out of play, or over hits it straight to the keeper. On the other flank Valencia was just as shit he kept passing it inside when he had ample amount of chances to have a run at defender. I am so glad Di Maria is coming, i have had enough of these two i would be sooo delighted to see the back of these two, the true definition of pointless footballers.
 
He tried to get some urgency going. At least he had balls to run with the ball. Just not good enough.
 
Just when you thought he might have turned a corner, he get's found out again. Pre Season was a con.

He's gone back to desperately poor wing play. How many crosses does he need to get past a defender and not into a keepers hands? That dive was so blatant but otherwise his general play is just not up to par. No creativity, no penetration and no threat. Time's running out.
 
He's the worst player I've seen play for United. He's so shit it's ludicrous. I'm sure if everyone is fit and available there's no way he'll be in the first XI under LVG.
 
The more we play him on the left the more of these performances we're gonna see. Its better not to play him at all than to play him there.
 
Being fair to Young, we're about to break the british record to sign another diver so I guess it doesn't automatically make you a terrible footballer.

However, he's Ashley Young not Di Maria who was the best player on the pitch in El Classico last season and created the most goals in la liga last season. He's an average footballer who dives, not one of Argentina's best 3 players who dives.
 
I suspected those pre season performances were deceit. He's back to his level now. Thankfully rojo and do Maria will spell the end to his wage stealing minutes.

I said exactly the same thing too. Blackett crossed the ball better in one attempt than Young did in multiple attempts. It's unbelievable how bad of a player he has been for us. He is probably the worst Manchester United player Ferguson has ever bought and managed who's played more than just a handful of games for the club.
 
An on form Ashley Young is a great crosser of the ball, fast and a ton of energy to get up and down the pitch. He has all of the makings to be a fantastic wing-back but he needs to find his form. He started off very well in pre-season and I don't think anybody could deny that. He obviously still needs to work on his defending but that will come with time, he just needs to get back to putting in good crosses.
 
Can't blame him, he's playing improvised as a football player
 
I didn't think he was to bad today. One of the few players in our team who was positive and actually tried to make something happen.
 
There's no point in Young or Valencia if they won't take on the defender. All he does is shuffle about then pass backwards. Take a chance ffs.
 
I've realized I actually feel sorry for Young, he just isn't good enough despite trying really hard.
 
Won his pre-season Mickey Mouse Cup and now he's back at being Ashley Young.

You just can't make this up.

He's a cheat on top of being shit and he's stealing a living making more money in a week than you perhaps do in two years.

Do not feel sorry for him.

You thinking telling me what to feel will work?

Ok, I will change my feelings to fit in with the rest of the fecking lynch mob. :rolleyes:
 
The only thing he looked like he was really capable of was putting in half decent crosses, even thought it's just once every 2-3 games. Now he's unable to do even that. What's the point of keeping him around? Distinctly average player. 18M for him is a daylight robbery.

Fair enough, sorry. Its just Ia associate young and valencia with everything thats wrong with our club.

But yeah, you are obviously entitled to your opinions and feelings.
 
Can not be "Schweinstigered" against Sunderland, will be wiped off the floor against the likes of Chelsea and City. The guy is clearly trying his best, but his ceiling is most probably too low for United.

Mata still scored the goal, and like I said allot, with di maria signing in the works, we have the pieces in place too get the best out of mata. Its just crying out for a 4231 system, and I would say rooney and RVP are the problem, not mata.

I was talking about Ashley Young being played as a wingback.
 
I think Reece James would do better. At least defensively he is definitely better than Young. And going forward, well you can't get much worse than Young. Until Shaw or Rojo start playing we have to go with James instead of Young.
 
The correct time to buy this guy, if there was one, was when he was at Watford. He might have been moulded into something half decent. As it is, he's not good enough. He plays football like he's doing shuttle runs. He closes down one guy, it gets passed to another, Young does a shuttle run and skids as it gets passed again, does another shuttle run, skids again, does another shuttle run, skids again, ad infinitum. His brain functions appear to be a series of bleeps with ever-decreasing gaps between them.

His first contribution today, his long ball gives it straight to sunderland in united's own half, and this guy is on over 100K a week
 
I don't know how to copy and paste the dashboard but it sums him up; lots of safe back passes and a few inaccurate crosses. http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszon...er-stats/18892/OVERALL_02#tabs-wrapper-anchor

It's like he tricked LvG into thinking he was good during preseason and now the season has started he's reverted right back to what he was doing last season. Seriously, I cannot wait for Shaw to regain fitness as Ashley Young shouldn't be anywhere near a team with any semblance of ambition.
 
Signing/hanging on to players like young is one of the big reasons for our current problems. It doesn't help that everyone's confidence looks shot due to last season but this standard of player still shouldn't have to be relied on.
 
Young would be one of my first players to go, and I would get rid of him ASAP. Hard to believe he is in our squad.
 
He needs to be released/banished to the reserves/sold. It is criminal that he he takes the place of anyone in this organisation. It would be mores sensible to play SAF than Young.
