I thought he did well. He's barely played this season, but I don't think you could tell that he's had so little football.
Don't think that is what Jose is looking for.Why don't we give the LB position to Young? He will do better than Darmian there, and will be a potent attacking threat down that side.
ok thenThere was that Lingard interview where he said Young was basically a gym junkie.
He's never been a bulky type of player but I guess the lack of game time, hefty new contract extension and encouraging words from Mourinho has given him the motivation to improve his longevity. Learning from Valencia most probably.
I wished he was sold during LVG's era and was pissed at the extension but gotta give credit where it's due. If he can keep this up, he can remain a squad player with my begrudging blessing.
Always the problem with him. I think Valencia is much better at linking up with others players and releasing the ball when he isn't going anywhere worthwhile as well.Workrate was good as usual but doesn't do enough on the ball given the amount of it he saw.
This never made any goddamn sense to me. There is first team training, youth training and a team of strength and technical coaches at a club. Surely it can't be impossible to simulate a football match in terms of physical effort.Repeatedly makes a mockery of the (IMO wildly exaggerated) idea that regular training is completely inadequate to get fit enough to work hard for 90 minutes and nobody can be expected to perform without a run of games under their belt.
I bet you are also in the Valencia crossing into shins camp.Honestly can't stand watching him.
Its so depressing watching him do that hunchback dribble down the wing only to hit the first defender with a cross.
He's the James Milner of United. A desperately average player who gets plaudits for being "professional" and "working hard" rather than having any actual standout qualities.
I can't remember the last time Ashley Young did something memorable. Probably that time the bird shit in his mouth.
And by my baraometer of approval shall thou carry thy responsiblity!ok then
It's typical Young, he's industrious and is getting praise for that over proper quality product.Always the problem with him. I think Valencia is much better at linking up with others players and releasing the ball when he isn't going anywhere worthwhile as well.
He had the skinning of their leftback and won freekicks in dangerous areas more than any other player in redWorkrate was good as usual but doesn't do enough on the ball given the amount of it he saw.
