Darmian is fine to have. Unspectacular but steady.

Not in the squad for the Everton game it seems.
I think we need to scout and sign players in a much better way though. Removing players doesn't work since you do need a decent squad and we can't buy 7-8 players each window and expect it to work. I guess giving young player a chance is fine, but it should not be forced and we have been lucky to have guys like Rashford and Mctominay to step in now when our big money players have failed.
Our problem has been that we have signed too many players that are either not good enough or old and near the end. Zlatan, Matic, Sanchez, Schweinsteiger and Falcao has all been old players on the decline with a short sighted view.
We have also got a lot of defenders in Bailly, Blind, Rojo, Lindelöf and Darmian in, but none of them are really standout players. Although Lindelöf and maybe Bailly got the talent to grow and improve.
Young has done better than most of these guys so we should not have sold him before this season really.
We need to start nailing our transfers so we can remove our weakest players from the squad over time.
Some of the abuse aimed at Young has been despicable. Anyone would think he picks himself.
He’s not good enough anymore but him starting so many games is on Mourinho and Ole.

Is he injured?
No mention of it in the pre match press conference.
Ole made some strong statements about players not at the level required and players at the end of their careers that could easily be construed as being aimed at Young.
It would be very Man Utd to give a shite player a new contract, and then about 4 weeks later realise he's not good enough and has to go.
What a mess.
Doesn't he just have a 1 year extension?
Strange to do that now. Young has struggled for quite sometime even before the Barcelona game.
He is probably out with an injury or something.
Or maybe he gave him a long rope..? Gave him his chances but had enough of the last few performances? Could be anything.
He is not injured guys, he is probably being rested so he play in the City game.
Yeah, I know....
Yeah, I know....
Let's not get your hopes up just yet, he could well be rested as we have City in mid-week.
Ashley Young's 'experience' will be very important in getting a result against City
Sometimes you’ve to apologise for speaking the truth on here.
Hopefully he has his most disastrous performance to date against City.
He’ll probably score a fecking goal and gift Liverpool the title, mind you.

Did we not just give him a contract extension? It took two games against Barca to realise Young's limitations?
Ole didn't give him that extension. Ask the former manager who was adamant he could play 50 games this season.
If the club told that former manager we will go and sign top defenders he would 100% have a player like Young out of the first eleven.
Nonsense. Young extended his contract in Feb. Way after Ole has got the job.
Contract negotiations started before
That's nonsense. Young is exactly the type of player he liked, non-creative, bland and bad.
He extended with Ole in charge, and 2.5 months after Ole has got the job. Your point is nonsense.
Enjoy the upcoming match and have a great and good day.
Now your agenda is just showing.
Man Utd 0:2 Man City
Terrible football player. An underwhelming signing at the very peak of his powers, and is here a decade later as the captain. Feck off.
The commentators acting surprised after that awful cross when we had men in the box was humorous. I think they just pitied him.
There has not been 1 single season during his entire stay at this club where he's been good enough for the direction this club wants to be going. Yet despite that he'll still manage a 9 year stay (potentially even more if we renew his contract again next season)
Words can't describe how utterly ridiculous the fact Young is still here and playing games is

Horrendous. Gave the ball away twice within 30 seconds in the lead up to the first goal. Aimless punts up the field to no one. Couldn't play out from the back to save his life, and people think smalling is bad at it
What on earth he's doing on that Sane's goal?
At one point he had a battle with Silva, and I thought that it's the battle of two veteran players for both clubs who even costed their clubs similar money, and came at similar time in their clubs. Then I went to cry.
I thought he played fairly well today. Better movement and was involved in some decent play for us.
His performances have been at such an extremely shit level that i wouldn't be surprised if he bin him off at the end of the season
Shouted, pointed, showed energy, no quality on the ball and all over the place defensively.
I swear they must barely watch us. The commentators in the game before were acting like a corner was a good opportunity.
Rubbish deliveries like always, but actually for everything else -- he played well today. 
I'm being serious. Finally after long run of bs games. Just his crosses, long passes and his football brain that are so bad.
Playing on the left --- Smashley
Playing on the right --- Capt' Long Ball

I just keep telling myself, only one more year. He can't get another year at United. Can he? He can't. Can he?
When it came to tackling tonight he was alright, but with the ball at his feet he's fecking brainless. Can't wait for him to be gone.
What frustrates me is the likes of scholes gary neville and keane wouldn't question ashley young as being the captain but they think pogba is the issue. Yes let us sell pogba and keep the likes of young smalling jones and lingard that will take this ckub forward.
Young is worse than fellaini, atleast with fellaini you got something useful.

Not the worst player on the field in a red jersey. Still not good enough though.
Great servant. Passion. Captain. Manager's fault.
One thing I can't get my head around is how bad his crossing is. How do you lose that, or at least let it drop to the levels it is at now? As a winger he was always able of putting it in a dangerous area. Now its either hitting the first man or ending up a throw in on the other side of the pitch.
Surely its not from a lack on training/practice?
