Hope that was his Gary Neville moment.
Please never play for this club again.

Seldom hop onto the player threads after a match, but this is a cumulative thing - he has been poor for so long now, and the fact that he is supposed to be our captain just makes it worse to watch. Can't even send in a decent delivery from a set piece, let alone his general defending or attacking in open play.
That's probably his 50th Gary Neville moment in the last 2 years.
He will keep playing as the high standards that made Neville take that decision have vanished from the club a long time ago.

The guy is awful.
It was blowing my mind that everyone was so positive and happy when he signed a new contract.

Good servant but please just have the grace to retire this summer.
People are way over the top due to a silly error. Young is a warrior with great mentality though so he will bounce back. Getting slower with age though so hopefully he is replaced in the future.
Young reminds me why I liked Valencia. Valencia was actually very good at bringing the ball out from the back. He was a very good short passer and could drive forward with the ball, even if it meant him stopping and passing backwards, we at least kept the ball. Young just hoofs it every time.
Shouldn't be a starting man, much less the captain.
Let the kid start the rest of this season's games, it's not like we have much to lose anyway.
I won't go overboard with how terrible Young is. He's an experienced, versatile player who can still serve a backup purpose. But he's not good enough to start, simple as that.

If this useless lump is still lining up in our team next season I'm going to be worried.
Release him.
What?? no he isn't
He's bloody stupid that's what he is, he never plays with any intelligence.

Whithout doubt his first season was the best, even can't remember a real good match by him since the 8-2 win over arsenal

When this captain of ours was sent off last night and was walking off the pitch, Lingard patted him on his back like some sort of comfort and well done. What in the absolute feck was that? He just let the whole team down and yeah "great job Youngy don't worry pal". Absolute state of this team, embarrassing.
Young's bound to have another honeymoon period for us next season against crappy cannon fodder.Thus being rewarded with another one year deal.
Aslong as the Glaziers dont put their hands in their pockets everything will continue to be hunky-dory for 'Captain Bird-shit' Ashley Young.

He's 33, I think next season will be his last especially if United sign another RB. I don't understand United fans still making digs at him over that bird shit though, it happened aeons ago and he got it enough from opposition fans. Let it go
. Young needs to leave but he's been a great servant and is one of the most loyal players to this club.With the money he's on it's quite easy to be 'loyal'.He's 33, I think next season will be his last especially if United sign another RB. I don't understand United fans still making digs at him over that bird shit though, it happened aeons ago and he got it enough from opposition fans. Let it go
Oh yea, him being loyal is really something, nobody offers money to buy you, nobody offers bigger wages to test your loyalty.He's 33, I think next season will be his last especially if United sign another RB. I don't understand United fans still making digs at him over that bird shit though, it happened aeons ago and he got it enough from opposition fans. Let it go
Sure, but he reportedly took a pay cut in 2015 and offered to take another and even more substantial cut for his current deal. He supposedly makes 10k less a week currently than he did when he first signed back in 2011. You might say he only did that because he knows how fortunate he is to be at United or something similar but its rare to see that these days. Fellaini held United to ransom over wages, so is fan favorite Herrera supposedly atm.
This a 1000 times. If people want to point fingers over wasted money, then point them at Woodward. Ashley's just being used as a scapegoat for everything at the moment.
He's been both connecting with fans (in the stands), loves the club, has taken cuts and even though he's not performing at the moment, he really just tries his best (incoming predictable shitpost-reply on this in 3..2.), so its really disgusting to see all of these insane witchhunt reactions on here.
Amen! I was going to mention how he connects with fans, because every time I've seen Young in real life he's always taken time to greet the fans and show his love for the club. Even at times when the rest of the players just wanted to get on the team bus and go about their days, Young stood out as the only one who responded to fans and came out to greet them. That really resonated with me. The man loves this club.
I thought you were kidding at first and searched for white text?
It's easy to appear loyal when you are a crap player that no other big club will ever be interested in and if you leave you will probably end at West Ham or Watford.

Ending up at West Ham or Watford is better than say a certain former and totally shit player who held the club hostage for exorbitant wages and ended up in China, two years younger than Young.
How people defended this guys performances I will never now.
Our fans are blinded to players who stick around and show loyalty to the club. What they don't realise is they are loyal to us as their other options are playing for West Ham.

Apparently he's a warrior, loyal and he cares.
That's all that's needed to be a Manchester United starting captain. Who needs talent and a football brain when you can be a warrior?
Remember when young was days away from joining a Chinese club? Yeah I wish we would go back to that moment.
Young just as shit as that player if not more
That guy is a serial defender of Ashley Young, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones. That's all you need to know.

Fellaini thinking he was pivotal to United and asking for unrealistic wages was nonsense. Thank heavens the pretender is gone. I have time for a loyal player like Young. Next season should be his lastHostage.
That made me laugh a lot because of how nonsense it was. Thanks.
You can have all the time in the world. It means feck all when it comes to the nonsense of him being loyal. He's just a crap player that knows his future post United will be at midtable or bottom clubs while United keep awarding mediocrity with starting lineup position and new contracts so he prefers to stay. Clubs aren't knocking on the door asking for his services while he keeps refusing offers for his love for the club. Your definition of loyalty is nonsense. Getting Fellaini into the topic is just you having nothing to say.
Bringing Fellaini in is just me exposing your double standards since it appears from what you've written on this forum that the man was infallible to you. What better visible way, all knowing one, can a player express his loyalty than not asking for more money and taking a pay cut? What are your metrics for loyalty? For me the broad understanding of the word in football is sticking to one club for as long as possible and I don't see why the quality of the player should matter. Enlighten me though.
He's not tweeted since. I'm keeping my eye on it because he's going to get so much shit when he does.
Keep bringing Fellaini in. It just proves you have nothing to say to boost your claim about Young being loyal so you have to shift the discussion to other directions. Lame discussion strategy that's not the first time I have seen anyway. No one has said Fellaini is loyal to United or supposed to be loyal.
Sticking to a big club because you are a crap player that no other club is interested in and your future post that big club will be at a midtable or bottom one where no one will ever talk about you again isn't called loyalty.
Loyalty is if you are a big player wanted by big clubs everywhere and if you decide to leave now numerous big clubs will move for you but you decide to stick with your own club because you are attached to it.
No one has been knocking on Young's door and asking him for his service and refused for United. The reality is, no other big club in the world will ever want someone like Young in their team thus he has to choose between either staying at a big club and taking his big salary per week while still being relevant or moving to an irrelevant midtable or bottom club with a massive pay cut and becoming irrelevant. Hardly a difficult choice isn't it.
By your definition of loyalty that it's just sticking around for long term whatever the causes, almost all crap players at every big team will be considered "loyal".
That moment when Young is not just a warrior but he is loyal servant too. We should have Ronaldo vs Young debate to see who is bigger United legend.
So you're incapable of being loyal at all if you're not a big player or if some fan on a forum like yourself considers you crap? Got it. How many 'crap' starting 11 players have taken pay cuts to stay at big clubs? What a short sighted view you have
You can't say you are a loyal to a place or a thing if your loyality wasn't even questioned or put under a test of other big places wanting you. Basic logic stuff that. It's easy to talk and say you are loyal to a place when no one is even interested in your service and you have never been put under question or a test of choosing between such place and other big ones, even in your real life away from football. Talking is always easy.
BTW you are also a fan on the same forum.
I agree with @el3mel here. Young has been fortunate to be here since 2-3 seasons. That should not be confused with loyalty.
Barring the period after Valencia's legs fell off, there is simply no comparison between the two. Valencia was actually a quality footballer for Manchester United. Even at RB you could argue he was at the very least pretty good. Ashley Young has always been a misfit for me and nowhere near the required level. One of those I genuinely dont know how he plays regularly for us. At times he has put in good displays by sheer effort, energy and pace. But all in all, his ability and intelligence is mid table level. I think we've made a mistake to extend his contract and will regret it as he continues to start and disappoint. And of course yell at others as if he's John Terry.
