When did he actually become a week in week out first teamer at Man. United again?
11/12 but obviously he was still a good left winger in the league back then given his 4 years with us, final fergie season he went back to being a squad player, same under Moyes who had likes of Valencia and Welbeck out wide more and then LVG he only got in when you had the deluge of injuries.
I was going to say it's another in the long line of inept Mourinho accomplishments but even in Mourinho's first 18 months I only remember Young starting in random games like Liverpool away when you were obviously playing very defensive formations.
Not going to criticise him too much as he was a very good player for us but think this shows Man. United simply being less ruthless than they used to be in handing these squad players continuous one year deals.
