Young nets at long, long last
Date published: 19 December 2013
ASHLEY Young might be on the road to Manchester United redemption after he scored one and created the second in a 2–0 Capital One Cup win at Stoke that set up a semi–final with Sunderland.
Young was scoring for the first time in over 19 months when he rocketed in from 20 yards.
But just as importantly, he seems to have heeded David Moyes' demand to cut out the diving.
“I have spoken to Ashley and I have said make sure you do everything right. And he did,” said the Scot.
‘He got kicked a few times and he went down, but he got back up and got on with it.
“He has shown he can come in and make an impact. That is what I need. If you want to get regular outings here you need to score, and you need to play well."
Young provided the opportunity for Patrice Evra to curl home a rare right–footed effort and leave United well placed to reach the final and a possible Wembley showdown with Manchester City.
