He was shocking at the beginning. He and Bailly had no idea how to play together but he settled down as the game went on.
The irony of coming in laughing off the tag of a great servant for a player who’s been here nearly a decade and has captained us, while citing Dwight Yorke is pretty funny. Yorke - a player I loved- had a legendary season here and is rightfully remember fondly, but he played less than 150 games here and his final season and a half before he was unceremoniously shown the door he was a shadow of the treble player, occasionally showing his brilliance while going head to head with fergie due to a very unprofessional lifestyle and supposed half arse approach. But this qualifies as great servant over 250 games almost, never failed to give everything, always put the team first and played a hand in many trophies. I don’t mean to be disrespectful but given that you were 5 when Yorke signed for united might account for your very incorrect statement.
Also to compare players who are debated in a great servant category to the likes of Giggs and Scholes is frankly stupid. Next up, ‘was van nistelrooy decent in the box?,’
I’ve had a quick look through your posts and slamming our players seem to be something of a hobby of yours, even solskjaer isn’t immune from your all knowing wisdom. Given your estimation of so much of our team we should be staring mid table in the face. You’re very aggressive in stating your opinion as fact.
He’s obviously being chosen as captain because several top managers know less than you, including O’Neill at villa who made him captain , one of the youngest ever in the League. In recent years his professionalism and performances returned him to the international set up and a starting spot in the World Cup, incredibly given how ‘garbage’ he is. Regular praise from a range of pundits in recent years must also be evidence of the worlds idiocy.
Pretty much every bit of evidence contradicts your opinion, but I guess green smileys compensate for that.
You're confusing legends with great servants here. Please.
What made me confused about your statement is that regardless of how many 100% performances Ashley put in 8 seasons, he isn't a great servant.
What is your standard? High stats?
The guy put so many great performances over the years with us and all the managers acknowledged him as a top guy/professional. His teammates included.
And here you are writing in forum discrediting him as a great servant for Manchester United.
Well I hate to break it for you, he is a great servant for us and we are grateful to have him as a leader in the dressing room. That's a fact, and your opinion is rightfully wrong and I can assure you that you can be the only guy with that kind of opinion and only 5% of other spoiled brats can agree with you.
As i said.He has not been a fantastic servant.
He is a player that has over stayed his welcome and should have been binned years ago.
Hes been here 8 years and has not once had a great season.Hes had more garbage ones than decent.He should not be seen as a fantastic servant and praised for overstaying his welcome due to the ineptness of our board.
And you say top managers rate him.
Last time i checked Oneil,Southgate and a passed it Van Gaal are not top managers.
So theres no evidence that contradicts my opinions.
And lets be real English pundits praise their own its what they do. Especially England internationals.
They hardly ever criticize their own. Even when Rooney was stinking up the pitch we had Gary raving about his "silent domination".
If its true what you say and they are regularly praising him I would take that with a pinch of salt and call bullshit on their biased pro England commentary.
Im not even a Young hater.I wish him all the best in his career and in life in general but he is not nor has he ever been Manchester United quality.
I apologise if i offended you. Truth be told the smiley wasnt really a disrespect towards you. Just the opinion of Young being a great servant

We are greatful to have Ashley young? Jesus wept.Ihave heard it all. Could you imagine Barcelona saying they are greatful to have Ashey young.
If you cant see the correlation between players like Young in our starting 11 and us finishing 5th and 6th and winning less since Fergie retired than Chelsea,City and even Arsenal then i cant help you.
For all of this talk of him being such a great servant he hasnt won much at all.
A worthless cup,A second rate Europa league an Fa cup and a Premier League.
What next Phil Jones a great servant?
Overstaying your welcome because of inept owners is not being a great servant.
Judging how much hes been slated in this thread i doubt im one of 5 percent.
Most agree with me
Wrong
I haven’t read any of the messages in here but I imagine he’ll be getting slated as usual. I thought he was great last night.
His legs have obviously gone, but he’s such a smart player.
He’s a very clever player. Bailly was the one having an absolute howler.Yep. I mean, he played at RCB for a good 20 minutes last night and was pretty flawless there... really great from him.
Wrong
You could see him organising and pointing to Bailly where he should be positionally.He had a good game once Bailly went off. He seemed angry about what Bailly was doing. Im sure I saw him go over to Ole and have a word with him before the sub too. Maybe im making that up
i like how he was mentioning top managers that rate him but omitted Ferguson and Mourinho.

Very impressed with his display last night considering he played in about 4 different positions pretty fluidity and never put a foot wrong really.
I think he’s a good, underestimated player in the team right now. His experience is very good for us and I see him as a really good calming influence. Good choice for the captaincy right now too IMO.
There’s a reason Ole picks him in the team and as the captain. His experience is very beneficial to the team.Ashley Young is far from a calming influence. Let’s not change the narrative here because he had a decent game.
We need to move on from him if we really want to challenge for titles.
Look at the difference Dalot makes when he’s in the side, that’s what we need from our rb and I’d rather give Dalot all the game time to learn and develop his game than have an old average converted winger starting every match.
You’ve just reiterated everything you’ve already said and I felt has been massively contradicted. Every point you make is conditional ‘it’s because this, it’s because that.’ You clearly have strong feelings towards young, bordering on obsessive, but while I disagree massively with you, you should at least have the grace to acknowledge that while you might not agree with me, it’s simply is laughable or ridiculous to suggest that given his career young has been a great servant for the club. You’re just being extremist for no reason other than to serve your opinion, which is typical of online fans.

If Ashley Young is so good, why is RB a position that so many have at or near the top of their list of positions that need to be upgraded in this summers transfer window. Young is at an age when players lose pace in their runs and quickness in their turns. It happens to all athletes who depend on speed and quickness. No amount of experience can overcome the effects of age, especially with wingers and those who defend the wings.

Its hard to type a serious response when you see absolute rubbish being spouted.
I know people have opinions but bloody hell.
In what world has Ashley young been a great servant?
Andy Cole is a great servant.Dwight yorke is a great servant.Ryan giggs and Paul Scholes are great servants.
This guy has been here for nearly a decade and has not had one great season yet hes a great servant .
Hes been garbage for most of his time here.
I will just leave you with a quote that i wrote in the Valencia thread and the same applies to Young.
This.
Hes been here 10 years and has had two great seasons and thats it.
We moved him to rb because he wasnt good enough as a winger and we were too tight to buy a right back.
Hes the embodiment of our decline and should not be seen as a great servant just because our board were not ambitious enough to upgrade on him when they really should have.
About 5 years ago.
Ludicrous gash. Classic Caf. Yawn. A rubbish post, definitely not worth debating.As i said.He has not been a fantastic servant.

I dont have strong feelings towards young i just think hes rubbish like many others and i also dont think a player who has never had a great season can be considered a great servant.
Theres nothing extremist about it.
I left out Fergie because im not sure Fergie even rated him that much himself considering how much time he spent on the bench during his last season.
And with regards to Jose,well look where playing players like Young got him.
The sack.
He plays grime music in the dressing room and hes a leader apparently
Think he’s class me. Gives it his all every time. No idea why he gets shit constantly.
Ferguson, Moyes, Giggs, Van Gaal, Mourinho and Solksjaer all had him in their starting 11s. He got back in the England side after years out the side, and played brilliantly in the World cup. He's well liked by he peers and is a barrier between the young lads and the senior players and the old staff who have known him from Fergie's tenure. A tremendous pro, who at the very least will run himself into the ground for the cause.
But he's not a good servant apparently.
