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.
Nani?
 
Honestly, does he have any footballing intelligence? Mata made a great run to the right, but nope "LUMP IT IN THE BOX!"
 
Januzaj needs a rest?

Sorry - is he either a pensioner or a toddler?

And how long a rest does he actually need?

He's a youngster he's clearly struggling what's so difficult to understand that he needs a rest to protect him?
 
He's beyond useless. I'd have every single member of our squad over him on the wings. Even De Gea. Hell, even Lindegaard.
 
I'd rather have Bebe instead of Young and to think Zaha is away on loan, the mind boggles!
 
Do you think Young feels ashamed coming for work every morning and picking up his salary? He is paid better than more than 1/2 the squad and a kid like Januzaj is better at every aspect of his game than Young is.
 
I hope we can shift him in the summer, but with those wages it will be hard to find any takers. Too much of a confidence player and doesn't have the mentality to play here. We're stocked with attackers as it is and he should be one of the first out the door.
 
He looks so fecking poor compared to anybody that played in the front 6 today, subs have done more, fecking hell, even Büttner has done more forwards today. I'd as well put some blame on him for AV's goal.
 
Whereas Antonio Valencia clearly has some value other than attacking (where in his poor form, he's offered little...) Ashley Young does not have a single redeeming quality that is better than our other wingers/forwards. Valencia is aggressive and helps win the ball back and can give balance and help in a big match, a few of the things we picked Park for. So its worth keeping him in the games to make sure he isnt lacking match fitness when the big games come around.

Young is just a mediocre player. He is just an attacker with decent pace who throws a decent ball into the box sometimes and tries to keep it simple with his passing and occasionally pops up with a nice shot. He doesn't run at defenders, he isnt creative, he doesn't bring anything that our other players dont have like Valencia does. He's just a standard europa league winger.
 
A pure waste of space and money. Poor on the ball, offers damn all going forward and not worth a fiddlers when it comes to closing down players or defending. He'll have to be offloaded in the summer, not to sure a lot would be got for him but there's no point in holding onto him now either. He's deadwood.

He's not, or wasn't, struggling any more than other players, and not nearly as much as some.
 
Again the weak link in that front 6 today, just needs to be sold in the summer. No idea why we didn't give Nani a chance to pick up some form, as even a frustrating, off form nani is better then this shit.
 
I don't think he was at fault for giving the ball away, he was trying to play a 1-2 with Fletcher and in the space between Young getting the ball and releasing it to pass to back, Fletcher f***** off.

Absolutely.

Fergie was dreaming when he bought Young. Now Moyes has taken over this dream and actually believes he is our best winger!

Wake up Moyes!!!!!!! Please sell Young and yourself as well....!
 
he really is dire - surely Nani needs a run out?

dont know what happened to him - used to be a pacey, exciting player
 
Along with Valencia, simply not good enough. Unfortunately for us, we were daft enough to pay him huge wages which means we're stuck.
 
Terrible terrible footballer now. He strikes me as one of them who has hit the point of no return.

I'm not surprised he played but the fact a player like him is in this squad cements the fact that perhaps we are where we are quite deservedly.

I didn't mind him when he first joined but he offers absolutely nothing at present and shows no signs of improvement. I hope he plays well when he does so someone takes a punt on him if he's made available for a move.
 
What was Fergie thinking when he signed him? Why he did that? And why we didn't sign Mata back there?

didnt seem that strange at the time, most people were pretty happy to get him I think - even started his United career quite well IIRC

but has regressed massively - tried to give him defensive skills and ended up making him into a nothing player

Where did you get the idea of him clearly struggling because of being over played??!! Youngsters do not rest so as to improve/maintain standard. They need to keep playing to get experience on the pitch

Actually it's about finding the balance of not overplaying them which Moyes has AND getting enough experience to get that development going.

Yea and it's about not burning them out. He's played plenty of games for us, carried this team at times, managing Januzaj is one of very few things Moyes got absolutely right this season.

I wasn't at Caf back then (so can't prove anything) but it looked to me a bizarre signing back then. Never rated him at all.

What made me irritated even more is that we could have gone for Mata at that time who even there was the superior player, and while would have cost 5m more or so, his wages would have been lower (considering that he was at 70k at Chelsea, so I guess for something similar would have come here).

Moyes' decision to play Januzaj so infrequently without obvious reasons is a mystery. But we get used to his strange decisions do we?

His management of Januzaj is one of the few bright spots of his tenure thus far. Adnan has surprised most people with how well he's done this season bar the mid-season slump. But most people who have seen young players succeed here have also seen them have slumps at a young age.

Unfortunately Ashley Young is the one he turns to when Adnan is rested now which is a shame.
 
He's awful and is simply not cut out for a club like united. Rubbish signing by fergie.
