Wow
Young had a very good game as a wing back. Van Gaal will love him because of his versatility. Played well as a striker, LWB and RWB. Not sure what more can he do.
Also Valencia was good as RWB.
Nani subbed off after he only came on at HT. Doesn't look good for him
Looks so uninterested. Had 1 or 2 good moments like one two with Kagawa and shot at the goal but his game as a whole has regressed so badly it's unreal.
Also liked the confident Cleverley today. He was very confident and was not afraid to dribble, play expansive game and also make forward runs.
Was young doing his vintage run at someone, cut back and then do nothing but a wasteful cross or backwards pass?
Next couple of years if we wanna move forward the likes of young and valencia need to be gone.
What do you expect your wingback to do? Dribble all by himself and score a goal?
Young was available for pass and he played some good passes and link up play. He had 1 or 2 wasteful cross but also few good crosses. More than crossing his passing was good, that's more than enough.
If young played as a winger then I would have said he had a poor game, but he was a wingback. He won the ball, passed it forward and always available as an option to pass.
Yeah I need to get the third kit for sure. Looks the best out of the 3.Just seen the pic of the 3rd blue kit looks pretty good actually, will have to get them all this season
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal interview: the full transcript - Telegraph
His interview with Ogden, it's refreshing to see the honesty.
Young had pretty good pre season so far, this game against Inter was the same. For me close to MOTM.
Decent, nothing special. Looked very tiered on the pitch, caught in possession few times, but recover nicely.
'Van Gaal was impressed with Shaw's performance against the Serie A outfit, adding: "I think he did very good tonight. "He's working very hard. He was lucky today because I was going to play our friend Reece James, but he was a little bit injured.'.................................Interesting comment 'our friend Reece James' might be a big year for the lad

I thought the same. Looks like Reece James will be promoted to the first team as a back up.
I'm not entirely sure. He said we are short of defenders as we sold Rio and Vidic and have to sign defenders but he said he likes Keane and Blackett. So who knows he is so impressed that he might want to promote them.
Young has done very well so far. For someone who looked like he was going to be sold, he's quickly learning to be a utility player in both Wingback positions and the 10/running striker roles. Oddly he could make himself more valuable now than at any point in his United career, despite less winger opportunities.
Now that's what you want to see from young players.

Young definitely looks good so far, so does Valencia, btw. Adapting them as wing backs may best idea yet. They're both not good enough as wingers, and played backup as fullbacks on occasion. Wing-back for them seems perfect.
