His block was as good as a goal, and he was the man of the match for me. He hardly made a single error. The fact he's proving a lot of people wrong makes me very happy.

Very good performance, he got my MOTM vote for the 90 minutes he put in, showed really attacking threat and defended well for the most part.
Shameful for the club that we don't have proper LB in case of emergency but he's surprisingly taking the chances from LVG and puts decent performances at that role.
Great game from him, and that clearance on the line at the death was just the icing on the cake. Great to see him full of confidence with the ball.
Was my MOTM tonight. Not just because he saved us at the end, but because he was a constant threat down the left hand side tonight, although some of his crossing could have been better.
I can't believe that Ashley fecking Young, who was an utter waste of space until recently, has now developed into a competent left-back who all of the sudden can beat a man again like he's back at Aston Villa. LVG must be a magician 
Saves like those are the difference between top 4 and Moyesing it.
Agree with whoever said he should get Ballon d'Or.
I thought, over the full 90, he was our man of the match today. Constant threat down that left and was beating people for fun. Well done him.
GOAT
Really good today. Happy to see it.
Fecking legend.
Goodness....I've never liked him, but deary me, he is really starting to produce the goods, even if it is out of position
Luke Shaw has some competition mates.
Give him a raise ffs.
Great to see him playing well and getting praise, as he's a great lad. Well done today Ashley.
Was good. Had one or two iffy moments but who cares. That block at the end too! Thank you Ash!
Lifesaver, and another decent display. Seems quite comfortable in this role.
Young has been a beauty under Van gaal, has to be said. was injured a lot like everyone, but was our best player today by a mile, playing as a left back.
Seems to have remembered how to beat a man again too
Serious wind of confidence flowing through his sails. About three times he was stood up by two men at the flank and just cleaned them with ease. Di Maria applauds.
I much prefer him to Valencia, can beat his man occasionally and on his right foot can put in a decent cross. Hard worker as well, shame most of the time he's forced to cross with his left. Life saver at the end.
Given him a ton of stick, but that clearance was fantastic.
Damn, black man thread is gone. Anybody catch the picture link? Needs to go in here.
He was brilliant tonight. Ran Smalling close for man of the match.
He skimmed their right back and winger together on 3 occasions with the same skill, and I remember thinking at the time, I wonder what the caf would say if that had been ADM?
Great performance from him. let us hope he can keep this level for the next match as well, that will be an important one.
That performance was like a throwback to watching him about 4 years ago. I can't remember the last time I've seen a United player beat his man so many times in one game. Such a refreshing change of viewing 
Would like to see him at RB so he doesn't have to take as long to get his cross off
Defensively solid again bar a few moments at the end with Diouf. Attacking wise this is the Young who electrified at the start of his United career and at Villa. Using his pace along with his skill and decision making to come inside, pick a pass, and get to the byline. For too long he just became a speed merchant. Technically he is pretty good as I've said before. He hasn't got that single minded approach Nani has but he is probably more rounded to change his roles in game. MOM for me.
Man of the match and it's not even close. And not just because of his brilliant goal line clearance.
You have to admire him. Instead of kicking up a fuss, or leaving the club, he plays at LEFT BACK instead of his natural wing position just so he can be a part of the club. It was obvious as soon as he's arrived that he loves being here.
I can only admire the guy. I really hope he carries on from his recent performances and becomes a solid squad player for us. Cut out the diving, and he's a very likable player. Always remember him and Fletcher watching a game with the fans a couple of seasons back.

He beat 2.
Was constantly talking to his team mates and getting people in good positions. MOTM for me.
He made two players maybe three times in the match. I couldn't believe their defending, won a free kick once ... his dribbling is very good he lacks the delivery which was quite awful.. I understand he is right footed but he messed up the most balls with his right.. anyway very good defensively, his positioning is great considering that he played as second striker for England a couple of years ago.. good work from van Gaal using all the players in a good way. He is truly a great coach.. ressurecting Valencia, Young, Fellaini. I think he could do very well with Nani had he stayed but he needed this loan and couldnt get a game time as his only position where he is playable is as a winger. Very good back up in the end for Shaw that Young guy is..
but he can easily cut inside and score goals like against newcastle.. but his destribution as I stated is quite strange as he overhit the ball many times with his right and with left there was quite no power
My MOTM and I never thought I was ever going to say it. He put in a brilliant shift and topped it off with an vital goal line clearance. I'm not sure what the difference has been but Van Gaal seems to be able to the best out of players who have been written off at this club.
Fantastic all round performance, stepped up when the team needed him.

Just seen the highlights, as close to being a goal as they come. The ball was almost over the line, well done Ash!
He was our best player pre-season. Nice to see he has recaptured that form. The lad gives everything every time he is on the pitch. he has an infectious smile and a brilliant attitude. I'm with you, and really happy to see him doing so well. I just hope he keeps it up and continues to get the chances. It's pretty telling that he is performing so well when being played out of position.
van Gaal said he could improve any player, I don't think he was lying. Even Valencia has been good at right-back (he's actually been better than Rafael this season but I'll wait a while before pissing off the Rafael fan boys with that one).
