I must say, I never thought I would make a post with these words:
"Ashley Young is a key player for us for the rest of the season".
I know, I'm as shocked as you are.
He has been really impressive and has worked hard for the team, his confidence is up and he has improved as a player. We could see what a difference width made yesterday, we ran them ragged in that half an hour (yes it was only Preston). But if we can get Di Maria on the right wing cutting inside or going outside and Young on the opposite wing doing the same then we suddenly become a much more direct and mobile side that is difficult to defend against.
Again, never thought I'd say what I have just said!
He has been really good and I think very useful shad player and we should extend him. Cost of replacing him with the current market would be too expensive.
Fresh, whilst we have to remember it was only Preston, we can all see that with width, Herrera in and Rooney up front we look much more threatening. What are the odds on reverting to the boring formation next time though? Falcao needs a rest, Fellaini is not the answer up front, we need to play Rooney and 1 of RVP or Wilson (I think we will get more out of RVP as a lone CF), with Herrera starting. I'm not holding my breath

Fair play to Young and to a lesser extent Valencia for making themselves useful squad members under the new manager. Both will have done their chances of staying on some good.

If Nani had goings work rate he might of turned into the player we hoped. Shame

Lol damn auto correct, obviously replace goings with Young.
big jugs guys
The way they are playing I begin to think Nani would have been better than ADM this season with all the freedom he is given. I think Nani would have delivered more, scored more and certainly not given it away as much which frankly I find remarkable.

That's not a bad call and 1 I would of liked to have seen maybe beast, he wouldn't of put the work in as ADM does that's 100% but with a bit of creative freedom in the middle where ADM has played maybe we might of seen a few more consistent flashes although I think he might of just shot 20 yards over the bar at any given opportunity and been criticized by our fans.
Both Young and Fellaini have been revelations this season (no one is saying world beaters), it shoW's what hard work and determination can achieve.
Personally think Young gives more than Januzai on the left, at the minute. With ADM on the right and Blind/harera through the middle our midfield could actually look good.
