Singlehandedly won us the game because he completely changed it when he came on.
 
He's too good for us, sell him to Real.
 
Young coming on gave us something we've desperately lacked in the attacking third: width. Having him (and Di Maria) on the wings gave us so much more room to work with in the middle. Hope we see those two play more often in wide areas because one of the major issues we have in the attacking areas is its all so narrow.
 
The switch in formation was what changed the game, but he certainly added some great thrust down his flank allowing Di Maria to to his preferred side.
 
He was very sharp when he came on, good to see that he's up and running again after his injury. What a turnaround, eh!
 
Has to be said, he has good end-product. Dangerous balls in when he came on. I like the variation too!

Should start Saturday.
 
He's turned a page since that bird shat on him hasn't he?
:lol:
What a bird eh?!

Seriously, I cannot believe I'm saying this, but he looks a different player. What on earth happened to him?! Was so happy when he came on - something that I never felt for the poor guy during all his years at United….
 
It's all a bit Alice-in-Wonderland, isn't it? The heart leaping at the site of Ashley stripping off, Fellaini mopping up the adulation of the adoring away support...
 
He used to be very good in his first season here too actually, it was only in Ferguson's final season and Moyes year here that he looked completely and utterly out of place. I think the fact that van Gaal believes in him has lifted him and he's managed to put in some fine performances this season, out of all players at United he's definitely improved the most over the last 6-7 months and deserves recognition for this.
 
Fast becoming one of my favourite players. Was one of our best players before he got injured and had a huge impact yesterday.
 
He showed some urgency and we played faster and more direct with him on the pitch. He did well for th first goal too
 
I'm starting to really like Young. He seems like a really good guy in the interviews I've seen and stuff. And similar to Fellaini, the way they have turned their United careers around is commendable. He contributed to us changing the game against Preston. His crossing is probably the best in the team at the minute.
 
Yeah, another good game today. Don't know why he doesn't start to be honest. LVG doesn't seem to reward good form.
 
Man Utd 2:0 Sunderland
He's doing well, he brings danger from his wing. I think it's time that the surprise about these performances are over and to accept that Young is a much improved and new player.
 
Young's issue previously was down to confidence. It was shot to pieces which effected the way he was performing. Pretty clear that LVG has come in and completely changed that which is great to see.
 
The rest of the players should take note of the intent Young is showing today.
 
Been our most threatening player in the final third.

With all the respect for Ash because he's doing great this year and he's playing his lungs out, this phrase (whilst true) sounds fecking ridiculous when you've got Rooney, di Maria and Falcao on the same pitch.

And this situation is happening in yet another match, it's not just one rare moment.
 
The more he plays, the more he looks like our second best player this season after DDG.

I said the same thing in the match day thread, mate. It's a joke, without being disrespectful to Young.

It sounds ridiculous but it shouldn't as it's been happening too often this season, Young is one of our best player.
 
Much more worth his place than Di Maria at the moment, only player that looks like making anything happen.
 
He's been superb. Was our best player before he got injured as well so this is no surprise.
 
Fair play to Young. He's turned his career here around and then some. Purposeful, threatening and probably the most confident he's been here since he arrived. More of that, please.
 
There were questions if his good form was only linked to the wingback position but it's good to see that his confidence can make him play well as a winger too.
 
A great performance today, He has looked very good this season even in the wing back role earlier in the season, very happy to see.
 
He doesn't do anything special. He just plays the game at more than 5mph and in the direction of the goal. More of this, please.
 
Who would have thought a year ago that at the start of March 2015, Young would be our best winger and one of our most consistent performers? Great turn around from him this year. Genuinely good performance all around, not just when comparing him to our shit performances.
 
Nice to see him not constantly looking for the foul but actually wanting to get behind defenders. He looks infinitely more positive than he did the past couple of seasons.

A couple of his outswinging corners were superb. I think we should stick with that, as it's unbelievable the amount of corners that just float right into the goalkeepers hands.
 
I hated him last season..wanted him out, but bloody hell has he got his confidence back. Just shows how fans really have knee jerk reactions like me. Easily the most improved player this season. Doesn't even dive anymore...
