He was faster than Mata or Kagawa would have been in that situation.

Agree.

A lot slower than Nani or Valencia. I was just watching Ashley Young videos from his days at Aston Villa because I could have sworn he used to dribble and had good speed. Its true, one goal I remembered was in there where he sped away from Chelsea's defence to score. He's half the speed now for some reason
 
Valencia would have checked back and waited for his fullback. Nani would have pulled up with an injury.
 
I don't mind Young, he's got good pace and is capable of beating a man which is what we lack. When he does pull it off and get a goal or assist it just shows to me what we are missing, the issue is that Young isn't good enough to do it as frequent as we should expect.

We need a pacey, skilful and technical winger who offers us 10 goals and 15 assists a season as a minimum.

Age catches up with the best of us, mate.

Sums it up perfectly. Young is a decent option, and a good squad player. But he will never be good enough to be a consistent starter for Manchester United, that was never the intention with him either.

I remember a journalist touching on it at some stage this season, that Moyes could find it difficult selling some of the players he wants to as wages are high and not consistent with ability.

If big clubs genuinely want rid of players, they can agree 'redundancy' type packages paying the difference between wages offered by the new club and their current contract.

I imagine Man City could shed more of a light on that but Adebayor is well documented.
 
Young is our version of RAWK's Patrice Evra, obviously.

Most people agreed he did at least alright on Saturday. Here people call it one of his worst performances ever. Convinced some people don't give him a fair shake.

True, but I'm not sure how open we'd be to the idea. I'd say Moyes would rather keep him as an option than move him on but still be paying him.

This is a complete myth that journalists always peddle. Regardless of what a player is on, a move is always financially beneficial to them as long as they don't hand in a transfer request as they get their contract paid up as a "loyalty fee" which alongside their signing on fee and new contract will always be financially better for them than sitting put.

The way it can be an issue is if a club needs to put their transfer fee towards their replacement.

If you imagine a player is on £4m a year and his club have to pay him 2 years of his contract in order to buy him out of his contract to sell him to the buying club. Of a £10m fee that would leave the selling club £2m.

So I can't see it being a problem for United as we are not going to rely on the money we get from Young to bring in another player and financially speaking, those wages are already a "commitment" as far as the clubs finances go and as they lose a commodity with value I'd guess there is also a way they skip around the tax.
 
Could we entice him with a new contract, with a slight difference? Plays very well for the next 6 months and he'll get a 10% rise. Play below the standard expected of him and he'll lose 10%. Have him on a 6 month rolling contract and repeat the process. In fact, do it with all our players.
 
I can't stand him. Absolutely useless footballer.
 
He's so depressingly horrible. I'd like to know what kind of favours he does to Moyes to get picked over the players on our bench.
 
The lovely ball from Rafael up to Mata, who controls it nicely and lays the ball off with a beautiful backheel to... Young, who completel miscontrols it and loses possession.

He isn't a scapegoat for our overall performance, but individually he has been atrocious. Really do not rate the guy at all. The only attributes he has are pace and the occasional long shot, literally cannot think of another.

Who else do we have? Januzaj has been overplayed this season and needs his rest, Welbeck and probably Giggs will be playing against Bayern and Valencia's been just as poor all season. The only other option is Hernández up top but he's been so out of sorts this season and it pushes Mata out wider.
 
If he had Nani or Kagawa written on his back he would be subbed off at 15th minute. He is terrible today.

I would much rather Welbeck than Young until the end of the season if that's what it takes.

Yup. Some of you also need to read the Valencia thread circa January as well to remind yourselves of the season that he's had.

Young seems to have these games where he looks utterly lacking in any ability, yet will have a random purple patch where he can score from 30 yards and whip in dangerous crosses. Such a confidence player.
 
Nothing player. Doesn't have the mentality for this club.
 
1 successful pass!


one!

TBH, some stuff that cannot be talked about in public if kids are around. :worried:

It's so depressing when one thinks that the media sold him as the next big thing, and then he's in fact nowhere near expected as the final product.
 
Am used to it by now. Him and Valencia are just not good enough.

Cleverley out right would probably be an improvement, to be honest.

Give nani a chance to get some form. He's always been much better then young. Even Valencia in his poor form does more for the team then young.
 
"Although we did see flashes in the first half of impressive wing play from Ashley Young"



feckING WHAT?
 
I'm going to pay for a banner for Young out as he is dreadful
