Let's be honest, the vast majority of us wanted him gone before pre-season kicked off. Isn't it fortunate none of us have any form of power at United eh? He's been one of our most consistent players, whilst playing in a position he hasn't really played in much before, well done to the guy. Seems like a really nice bloke too so great to see.

Anyone think he can do a job as one of the 2 CMs in the diamond? Valencia did pretty well against Everton and Young's passing range is a lot more impressive.
In this position though, it's not a contest at the moment. And LVG seems to be getting results with this system so hard to see it changing, I would obviously like if it did, but only if we get a right back who's injured for less than half the games
He has been nothing short of fantastic in this past couple of months. Looks like a completely new player and it just goes to show what the right manager can do to a player with ability and I'm really really pleased for him.
I think he will change it. Either way I see shaw playing loads whether we stick with this or change to other formations as I expect us to. He's a top class talwnt.
He was really good during the pre-season tour, but didn't really expect him to do well in the league mainly because I didn't think he'd get many chances plus after he got injured in september, I didn't think he'd get a look in again. Easily the most improved player under LvG, his crossing is getting to how good it was in his Villa days/1st season with us.
The quality of the crosses he has been putting into the box have been fantastic.
He's been fantastic recently, just hope he can keep it up. One of our best players at the moment and anytime we look like scoring, it's usually from his side of the pitch.
His son, named after Blackett, ain't half bad too. Next Rhain Davis, I hear.
Tottenham 0:0 Man Utd
Best player again today, causing tons of problems glad he's managed to turned his career around for the better
He's being doubled everytime he receives the ball but still managed to produce something good, in excellent form at this moment.
what a turnaround from Young, unrecognisable. Long may it continue, has his best period at the club
Can't believe what he has been producing lately week in week out, amazing.
His crossing needs to improve. Not as good as they were against Newcastle.
Mata's been better but yeah, good game again from Young.
Put Shaw in for Falcao and move Young into the left. Spurs left flank looks vulnerable
Our main tormentor in the first half. Amazing what a turnaround he has had.
If I had to nitpick, he could probably put in some better crosses with his left foot. But that's really all there is to fault about his performance so far. Who would have guessed that Ashley Young would command a double team on the left flank. Bizarre.

great game, again....as surprising as it sounds considering what we've been used to with Young...hope he can continue delivering, the form he's in he deserves a place in the squad
so true.Please win us a penalty Ashley!
Another good game.
We can't rely on his crossing as much as we have though. The sort of quality we have for crosses in Falcao, RVP and Rooney just should result in more dangerous chances more often. Three of the best strikers in the world all inside the box making runs. Nearly 10 crosses today.
Shocked how sound he is defensively as well.
great apart from that fecking cross out of play in the last minute, absolutely criminal doing that IMO
He's good these days, nothing more to say really.
Is he on the Patrice Evra diet? Running down that left flank all day long. Second full 90 minutes in 2 days as well.
Loving this version of Ashley Young. Defends better than most of our defenders too.

great apart from every cross (bar one) he made. He had like 15 crosses attempted and only one (as far as I can remember) found the target.
So, not great at all.
Tired towards the end but started brilliantly. Another solid game today.
Man of the match for me, was our biggest threat in the entire 1st half and defended brilliantly in the second half and was always ready to charge down on those rare occasions that we got possession of the ball. Don't know how he managed to do that for 90 minutes after playing for 90 minutes just 48 hours earlier.
I think he was average today, his deliveries when in good crossing positions were mostly poor.
The fact that Spurs were so quick to double-up and close him down in the second half speaks volume. He wasn't afforded a lick of space.
I didn't think he was good enough for us at the start of the season and wanted him gone, he's been good defensively but i don't understand the praise he is getting, he constantly gets the ball with acres of space to run into, any half decent winger would have a field day with the likes of Rooney, Mata, Falcao and Rvp as the targets for crosses, he either hits the defender, or when he crosses he doesn't seem to pick anybody out, he just crosses into a dangerous area, if he overhits it like he did today, it turns out to be great shot but thats about it. For a team playing 3-5-2 and the onus is on him to create chances, we will have similar days like today and against Villa away, i thought he was good midweek, but was terrible against Villa and today, the amount of times he gets into that space and either hits the first man or overhits or doesn't pick somebody out is criminal.
Second game in a row this has happened.
Ashley's inside out crosses have never been fully appreciated by his team mates. I dont know whether its the angle of them but his team mates have regularly failed to take advantage of them. They always seem to land in good areas too. This goes back a long way. Im just bringing it up now because he is doing well and has earned our sympathy in this regard.
I don't know what else a winger can do but put the ball into a dangerous area. Not sure what else people expect
This.
He was fine today, understandably tired towards the end. What a turnaround! Very happy for him.
Was an excellent save away from scoring too.
He was our best player vs Villa so if that's your view its a warped one in my opinion fella.
Too right. He is very impressive at defending one on ones. A very good tackler.
I don't think Shaw or Rafa will waltz back into the side. I think Shaw especially will have a tougher time getting his place back.
I was never a fan of Young from the start, but he's been a great asset in the past couple of months. All credit to him.
It would be great if he can repeat these performances on wing because we could use good left winger if we switch back to 442/4231.
