Incredible that some wanted him dropped in favour of Di Maria. Young's playing really well.
 
Its always easy to throw players under the bus but this should be a lesson how in some cases there is something good locked in those,you just need to unlock it.
 
Hands up...hated him last season....been reborn this season. One man is the reason, LVG. He's rejuvenated him and given him belief...someone else used to do that to players...:drool:
 
That free kick was delicious but its refreshing how combative and mobile he looks out there.
 
Showed good balance and composure for the goal, but his passion on the field was great to see today.
 
Another brilliant performance, who knew he had it in him to be this kind of player?

That header though, I'm sure he's done that before. Or it might have been Diouf.
 
I'll admit it. Wanted Di Maria to start this match because Youngs end product was bad against Villa. MOTM today, fantastic performance.
 
1G+2A I have him in my fantasy premier league side, shame I left him on the bench for Silva, too bad for me. Anyway I'm glad for him he's good guy too
 
He has well and truly mastered the philosophy. Him, Blind and Fellaini's triangles on that side are beautiful :drool:
 
He's had spells like this before but they've been all too brief and punctuated by dross. This one looks like it might be the real deal. He's outshining Di Maria on merit.
 
Should he start against Chelsea too? I'd say so. If the game was any closer than a week, we might as well have given him a rest to play AdM, but with a weeks time left until the game, I think he should start.
 
Very good delivery today. Thats not always the case, but there are very few days where its just poor quality delivery. He pretty much always gives our attackers a chance even if its a slim one
 
Smashley!!!!!

what a performance pretty much his best in a United shirt, fantasric how he turned his career around and seems to be really enjoying his football again.
 
Superb again today, that little love triangle between him, Fellaini and Blind is really proving to be a great weapon in our arsenal.
 
I'm actually looking for the team to pass the ball to him, he's been great lately.
 
Give this man a knighthood. Or a England call up. Either one is fine.

Reminiscent of his performance against City the 3-2 in his first season. Absolutely excellent. Is it just my halftime euphoria getting the better of me or does he generally turn it on in the big games?

You were jinxing it with your Di Maria v Young stat off, weren't you? ;)
 
This time last year he was a laughing stock. In fact, no, he wasn't a laughing stock. Because absolutely no-one found it funny. He was just hated.

An embarrassment to the shirt, one of the worst players we've ever had, and so on.

Now he's keeping Angel Di Maria out of the team - and imagine if, in April 2014, someone had argued that AdM wouldn't get in the team ahead of Ashley Young if he came here.

Shows you how quickly things can change in football, and why patience is a virtue.

So true. Some players require consistent playing time to be at there best and Young is one of them (Nani is another).
 
He was awesome today. Have to say, I knew he was decent player but I didn't think he had this in him. He was a threat every time he got the ball, was unplayable at times.
