He's been good for the last 18 months to be fair. Should never have been benched at the start of the season.

I'd like to see him up front again on the left. Probably wasted as a fullback now.
Just play him on the left instead of Lingard - And play Darmian as the Right back. We'll score at least 3-4 if he plays in his preferred position
This is the obvious change.
He's been incredible.
Been our best threat in the first half.
Thought he was our best player first half, only Schweinsteiger and Smalling even close.
Darmian on and Young on the left? Think we may have scored if we'd have started like that.
The most unfair treated player in the squad by van Gaal (bar Rooney maybe).
His positivity is underrated. More of that shit is what we need at the moment.
Last season he strangely got a lot of stick on the Caf, when in many games I thought he was our best player.
Thing with Young is the number of times he tries to penetrate one way or another, god knows we've needed more of that this season.

Shame about the dive, but he simply must be in the team.
I'd love to see Lingard on the right and Young on the left. Some real pace and players that take a man on both flank.

I think you are right. He contributes a lot in attack and defense. Has been overlooked for selection too often this year.
I gave him MOTM as I thought he was our most consistently good player over the 90 minutes.
Thought he was good especially in the first half and that dive was simply cringetastic.
Cringe dive but desperate times...
Will let him off considering the great performance.

I did too.
Was surprised to see him so far down the MOTM list. Even Rooney and Rojo came higher
Right now he should be a starter every game, I don't really care which of his many positions we start him in but it is indefencible to not have him in the team one way or another.
Has put in successive good performances. Loved his energy and enterprise tonight, even if that dive was cringeworthy.
Glad LVG is finding a place in the team for him, but Id rather he play at left wing where is is most experienced.
Delighted for him that LVG has found a way to utilise his talents and find a meaningful role for him. Proof that unfashionable players can also do well if they commit to real hard work and lienth to their manager. He will be required a lot more this season and he is doing great so far.

so many calls for Darmian. WHy? He's been averaage overaall, Young looks good aas RB, let him have more games there. expecttions from winger are higher. Lingard has done fairly well, so let him have one side and give the other to pereira/Herrera/martial if rooney needs to play. We need attacking threat from fullback as well, certainly not someone like Daarmian who needs to take some time off..
The strangest thing for me was the reaction to his contract renewal just months ago. He's a great squad player.

One of the most creative players in the squad. Perhaps the most creative, in fact. And has been for a while.
And obviously he's very well-rounded.

Ridiculously underrated. Miles better than Darmian.
That's the confirmation bias that plagues this place. Once a lot of people decide someone is crap it takes a series of Messi class performances to earn even grudging praise. Anything less and they get slagged off, no matter how well they play.
He's been a revelation since Van Gaal came in.
I absolutely love his attitude - he seems to love playing for us. Just wish he'd cut the diving out (well, the unsuccessful diving anyway
).
Great performance defensively again apart from that slip which Mike luckily had covered - I think he might have got to the ball anyway but glad we didn't have to find out.

Should be seen as a key player and probably should start every week. Just question is if he should play on the left, right, or at fullback. Always puts in a good shift though. Once darmian gets back in form/Valencia gets fit, he should just be a mainstay on the left. Martial up top, Rooney behind martial and young left gives us a very good balance.
Not bad for a certain deadwood labelled by the majority in here not so long ago.
Our best utility player these days.

Maybe he'll be England's left back for the Euros
not a bad shift as a make-do right back!
I think he should play at full back in those matches that we're expected to dominate.The likes of Rojo and Darmian,while can be more solid defensively,would never have contributed offensively as much as Young did and with the current United team there will always be needs for attacking threats from outside the front 4.

Valencia is injured.
Keane calling his dive a disgrace and I agree with him, needs to stop it.
True, and true ... not sure why you quoted me though.
I think he's better there than Tony V.
Royston not impressed with the dive
Least he said we weren't a boring team I suppose

Hes right though in terms of the diving.
Odd analogy from Keane.
Keeps on sticking it to the naysayers.
I was one of them before last season. A top professional and intelligent player with underrated technical ability.

Its not even his worse dive, everytime he does it people are up in arms. When other players are constantly doing it in other teams, no one gives a shit. I'm just glad he's been playing well, because that is the best response he can give them.
I like him and feel he has turned his career around here, but that dive is disgraceful. The fact that two managers at united have already publically rebuked him about this and yet he still does it is worrisome.
Young should stop diving. We have disgraces like Costa in the league to do diving, kicking, punching etc.
