Aye but these are the kind of games Young lives for and does seem to raise his level for these occasions against domestic rivals. Not sure I’d fancy Dalot for this game, think Mane would eat him alive.

Well, obviously time is not on his side any more, but remember this pic?
Dalot is the future, but as of know, Ashley is still the present.
These comparisons between Dalot and Young are painful imo. Both are simply not good enough currently to be main players here. Only difference is Dalot may become a main player 3 or 4 years later.
Id start him Wed night and in our next home game, too.
I think Laird is gonna make it, he is the only youth player I feel very confident about.
I guess I'm late in replying (
)Dalot has played decent but Young is so awful........i don't think i have wished a injury to an own player but i hope he gets a hamstring injury.
Crystal Palace 1:3 Man Utd
Really struggled in the first half and was marginally better in the second, not really his role though.
Not sure why he played on the right wing, i'm not a professional football coach but surely you play the career winger on the right wing and the guy we bought to play at fullback at well fullback. And not vice versa.
I thought he was fairly disappointing tonight as he's been in most games, hopefully he can kick on next season.
But it has to be said between Dalot, Fred and Sanchez its looking like the club were right to question Mourinho's judgements of players.

Shows some nice footwork but doesn’t look ready for the level yet to me.
Thought he was fine tonight, a couple of nice runs and created a very good chance for a goal. I can't knock him for that.
Very clearly too one footed to play on the wing, but it was smart of Ole to have him there instead of Young. Young is better defensively, while Dalot is still a much better crosser than him. Made sense especially going up against Zaha.
I thought he was quietly one of the most pleasing performers tonight. Not a Hollywood performance where he was taking people on every time he got the ball, but when he does have a go he almost always delivers a dangerous ball. Seems to have really tight ball control when running at a defender, unlike so many young attacking FBs who are just flair kick-and-run merchants.
He is quite one-footed so shouldn't be expected to convert to a winger any time soon, but it's not really a weakness in a fullback.

I liked his game, could have got an assist or two if Paul hadn't missed his chance, he needs to build upon this performances, there is a very good player in him that we'll be getting soon.
I somehow liked his performance guys, maybe you're right but the guy's got heart for the game. And guts.
He was OK. Still don't think he's ready. Expecting a great player next season though.
What makes you say he’s one footed? Fairly sure he came with a reputation for being good with both feet. Had a decent left-footed strike blocked this evening too.
That's true, I'd forgotten that shot. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it's just the way he dribbles, and the fact that he almost always opts to go down the outside (with a very high success rate, I should note!)
He did fine. He's obviously not ready for this level yet and I don't think he was meant to play much this season but injuries have forced us to play him.
Ok, grand. I might be thinking of someone else. I just have vague memories of him pinging in great crosses with both feet in youtube highlights.

He's gonna be a monster going forward for us in the future. Has great pace, skills and can put in a decent cross. Will be exciting to see him grow and develop here 
Thought he had a good performance and should have bagged an assist tbh.
Liked what I saw today. Still not ready for being a main player but he should play as many of these average/easy games as possible if we want him to develop to become a main player.
You could be right, I wouldn't stake my house on it. From the first couple of minutes of this video he plays really well on either side, but always using the same foot (cutting in and crossing in-swingers from the left, going out and crossing out-swingers from the right). And there's lots of instances of him making short passes with the outside of his right foot rather than using his left.
I wouldn't have said it was a easy game before kick off with 9 first team players missing. Credit to Ole and the team for masterminding a comfortable win.
I love his style of attacking. Step-over then quick cross with pace into dangerous area. Seems to have that bit of quality. Composure, accuracy and vision something Valencia never had in those situations. Not sure about his defending yet, but he is clearly a huge talent as an attacking fullback.
Was good last night. 2/3 dangerous crosses and a really good one-two break in the second half. He’s going to be good from what I’ve seen.
”Never had” is a bit much. Valencia was a great wide player between 2009 and 2012. He was actually a good crosser too. Then he declined and became a defensively very solid, offensively toothless full-back.
Loved his body language. I thought he looked meek against Fulham. More please.
He looked like he's our best RW. Which says a lot about the state of our RW position...
He is good in attack, he just need to improve the defensive part of his game and he'll be very good for us.
Improved in the second half after a cagey first half.

Needs more game time to progress on what looks a very talented player. Hope he gets more games at RB before end of the season to gauge if we actually need to buy one in the summer. Young Dalot and Laird could be enough.
He has a lot of potential but I do no think he will be ready to be first choice right back next season. Rotational option and back up which is fine for a kid his age
Think he was okay yesterday, some encouraging signs. Still think he’s a little slower than I’d have liked, but some promise. Will take a while.
Hes only gonna turn 20 next month. Can understand why we played Young behind him, as he does like to go forward. Think hes got a good crossing technique on him (should have had an assist).
The other thing is that Palace have a very attack minded left side with Zaha + van Aanholt and Dalot along with Young did a good job negating their influence most of the time. Ole sent him out to do a job, and he did it pretty well.
I thought he did really well last night.
Good change of pace and skill. Pogba should've hit the target
How many times have we seen that sort of skill and cross down the right this season? It's ridiculous how poor it's been down there.
He's got a big future. Played well in parts.
Yeah, it's atrocious that we don't create anything from right. High time to change that.
Which is funny given how good we were in latter years of Fergie and left was neglected except evra
