Man of the match for me. Keep up the form!
At the start there was moments of frustration from the crowd with him but as the game went on he was certainly more positive than most of the attacking players in front of him. I like him at left back and the club should consider giving him a new deal.
He never impressed me (except for that 8-2 vs Arsenal) but he does his stuff so efficiently, glad he was there today. Inserted a sense of urgency in our play and scored (helped) which may turn out to be our most imp 3 points to get us going.
Kudos to him, got a lot of stick but has the mentality to be our player. Not first choice but should stick around.

I don’t know why he’s never really been accepted by most fans since he joined but he’s never really let us down, gives his all, been one of our better players since he returned to the team. Arguably our most potent attacking threat with his crosses
On a day when once again most of our players performances didn't get beyond average, Ashley turned in a display above average. IMO Ashley has never had the chance to play in his best position from the start of his career at United. SAF bought him to play down the middle giving pace through the centre, something we had lacked for years, but then when Young arrived, he only ever got in the team as a winger. The man deserves credit for hanging on in there, taking the knocks and the abuse (at times) and developing, or reinventing himself, from an occasional squad player, into a regular first XI choice.
MOTM today Ash, well done.

Beast of a performance, pure heart and soul. Need more of that in this unit.
if only the rest of the squad had the same passion and put in the same effort
Really? I thought he was our most attacking threat right from the off, surprised about the crowds reaction, but then again I wasn't there.
All day long mate. Even before his 'goal'On a day when once again most of our players performances didn't get beyond average, Ashley turned in a display above average.

If United do sign a top-class LB in the summer, he'd be a good option to rotate with Valencia in the short-term at RB. Valencia still has a role as defensively he's excellent these days but he just offers nothing going forward at all, Young would be a good option to have when you aren't worried about the opposition left-wing and expect to dominate possession and need more of an offensive threat.
Fair play to the guy, looked like he was deadwood in the summer but he's worked hard to create an opening for himself in the team and seized his opportunity.

Can't fault his effort or application. Thought he was excellent today.
Yeah I think a few thought he could've put the ball into the box a bit quicker than he did.
He got a lot of praise for his performance yesterday, including a piece by Jermaine Jenas on MOTD. Definitely had a good game going forward but defensively I thought he was very poor. Look at all the danger created by Brighton down his wing, he appears to have no idea how to close down or block a cross. LB remains a big problem for us.
I'm pretty sure watched him at Villa play on the right more than on the left. Agbonlahor was the one who normally played left.
Beast. MOTM. His overall performance this season has been better than Valencia’s.
His offense is good, but not his defense. In big games, Jose will offset his defensive weakness by playing 3-5-2/3-4-3. Our CB options are solid with Bailly/Rojo/Jones/Smalling, so overall i think he will do okay in defense against big teams.
With his current form and Shaw’s lack of game time, hard to see Shaw overtakes him for now.

I don’t get why our other players can’t play with the same drive and determination to make things happen as Young has been doing recently. It’s like Young has decided “feck all you bottlers, I’m going to create something for the attackers”.
He's having one hell of a season. Well done to Young for turning his United career around and he loves the club which makes me even more happier for him!
Could it be that the opposition don't put so much focus into him and allow him more time on the ball than our attackers? I mean, Young was a pretty shit winger for us and now has found some success in a reduced defensive role.
Conversely, if he continues to increase his attacking presence, opposition teams will assert for focus onto him and maybe take it away from the left sided attacks such as Rashford or Martial - his success only bodes well for us and well done to him for never giving up.
Give the man a new contract, stop messing about.
Unfortunate to play in an era where the club is not winning trophies ala Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Extremely underrated and hope Ash gets to go to the World Cup.

Why exactly has his goal gone down as an own goal? Is it because he's not Frank Lampard?
Young has the mentality to play for this club that a lot of the caf favorites could do with in spades.
He and Lindelöf were by far the best players on the pitch.. Now Lukaku needs to get couple of games on the bench and Matic needs a break he looks a shadow og the player who started the season Fellaini and Herrera can share the load and Rashford, Martial and Zlatan can do the scoring.. But it's funny how Young and Fellaini who lets be fair couldn't do anything right for the caf now need new contracts.... We better get Ando back he lid up the place everytime he needed a new contract... But on a serious note both are valuable players and should get new contracts..
Yeah I don't get it.
I've seen so many goals like that over the years and they never seem to go down as own goals.
Like you said, Lampard would be down about 30 career goals under these rules.
Watford 2:4 Man Utd
Smashley!

Genuinely been one of our best players this season.
Player of the month.

That was a miss on first view. Very very good shot
Imagine 5 years ago someone telling you that in 2017 Young and Valencia would be not only starting but two very good full backs for United.
Been our best attacker 2 games running.
Some doomsdayer was saying Youngy has been unproductive this season the other day. I swear some people on here don't even watch.
LikeAboss
Love him and fellaini hahaha
Amazing what the managers trust, some consecutive games and a gameplan the player understands can do for a player. There's a reason we sign these lads. They have great ability. Glad young is showing what he can do again. It's been a long time.
