Filter off at this stage. I can't stand him. Awful player. Shameful he's still employed by this club.
 
Mistakes yet again, simply not good enough

Cannot believe he was offered an extension to his contract.
 
Absolutely terrible player. Amazing that player of his quality can stay so long at United, and be a starter in his years. When I see things like this I think I have wasted my life.
 
Did his best to try and get Southampton back in the game. Just get rid.

I think it is time to put Darmian back in the team, and maybe keep him as a squad player ahead of Young. At the least he can defend much better than Young.
 
Defensively Young's looked well ropey lately. Not sure what Dalot has to do to get a start at right back. I have more faith in Phil Jones at right back than Young.
 
Massive, massive liability. I know he scored in the previous game but that doesn't even begin to compensate for all the shit performances he puts in. The quality just isn't there and he makes so many dumb mistakes.
 
Howson has gotten to me at this point, he has a point about Young. Completely to blame for the free-kick goal that put United back under pressure, just lunges in without any thought. Gives away possession far too much also.

I love him to bits but I honestly don't think Ole has the bottle to drop Young due to his seniority within the squad. If he did he would have dropped him long ago. He doesn't even sub him off.
 
What does Ole see in him? he switches of defensively, he gets done on the over and underlap, he gets dribbled past by Bertrand with ease, he has no engine to get up the flank, his crosses are weak and all he does is put his foot through the ball 20 times a game rather then looking up to pick a pass. He cost us two goals today with his stupid decisions. If southampton were any better they wouldve completely exposed the space he leaves open behind him when he goes rushing out and realises he isnt quick enough to get back into position anymore. Any other RB in the league and some from the championship would do a better job then Young does. Dalot has to start and a new experienced RB has to be signed in the summer. Young can stick to being the dressing room DJ.

Do you seriously need other people's opinions to work out how dogshit this lad is?

Just watch our games, he's fcuking awful.
 
One of the the worst fullbacks in the league and he plays for and captain Manchester United.

Truly surreal stuff.

No, I just put Howson in there because he is comical about how he goes about stating his opinions. The reality is that Ashley Young has never been a good full-back and we absolutely need to invest in the summer.

So much overreacting. Young is better than Valencia and Darmian, easily.

That is true. Not good enough to be a United starter but he is the best option since Dalot isnt a great defender either. Need to be replaced in the summer though so he can sit on the bench.
 
The desire he has no longer matches up to his ability. He never seems calm enough to make proper decisions., be it his clearances, his throw ins or awareness.

Definitely. We need a new right back as soon as possible.
 
Has no respect for keeping possession, loves a 50/50 ball down the channel. Even his throw ins are aimed high for a jump ball.

Don't see how he's become so trusted under Ole, defensively suspect and diabolical in building up attacks.
 
For someone with so much experience, He really makes some of the dumbest decisions with no pressure on him.

IMO the FK for their second goal shouldn't have been given, didn't look like he touched him.
 
Terrible but, in my opinion, he's still our best RB. Dalot looks promising on the wings but I think he's been poor at full back.
 
After Alexis, he’s the most obvious weak link in the side. Needs improving but I really don’t think we’ll look to do it in this summer.
 
He wouldn't look out of place placing as RB at Burnley or even the Championship. He is reluctant to play football, and just excels at giving the ball back to the opposition with his frustrating passes. He is a world apart from Shaw as a fullback. He is much better on the left.
 
Him and Lukaku are truly world class duo at shouting and pointing, blaming others for their own random shit.

It has anything to do with bottle, he pretty much has sold Valencia and he is club captain. He also dropped Lukaku and Sanchez despite their reputation as their performances were poor.

The problem is that he was okay with Herrera covering for him. We also had no real RW at all during that time, and needed him for his offensive ability. Dalot is an interesting option on that right, and with that I would think he should try Darmian, as we can afford to sacrifice that offensive ability, for more defensive stability. We just can't keep giving away stupid chances like we did today, better teams will destroy us if this keeps up.
 
I would play Bailey there with Dalot and Shaw bombing forward until we get our attackers and midfielders back. Young has been absolute liability and has zero composure even at this age.

I just cant stand him. I'll even say hes more fustrating than sanchez. He offers absolutely nothing. Im convinced the next 10 games or so will be his last as first choice. We really need to start to show more confidence in dalot. He seems technically better and has a better cross in him. What does young do apart from the backward pass to the centre backs.
 
I thought he deserved his one year extension but he's been terrible since it was signed.

Yes he tries hard but at the moment he's defending badly and losing possession for fun. Not a good combination.

I wish I had your confidence. I fear that he will be our number 1 next season as well. Our right side has been criminally neglected for the past 5 years, hard to see it changing no matter how crap our options are.
 
Absolutely hopeless.

Young is bang average. On his day he gets by through sheer effort and lightweight physicality but as a footballer he's just mediocre. Should be their choice RB next season. Enough of him being as prominant as he is.
 
We dont deserve better when people after him extending his contract said that it made sense.
