In terms of 37-year-old former Manchester United wingers who have since honed their craft in a new position and made a triumphant return to their former club in the summer of 2021, Ashley Young is faring considerably better than Cristiano Ronaldo. With his contribution to a spirited victory at Spurs, the Aston Villa veteran can also claim to have had more of a positive impact on Erik ten Hag’s side this season.Young referred to himself as “old school”, as well as the “grandad”, “the senior member” and the “leader” of the squad in an interview late last year; as the oldest outfielder by eight years in the Villa starting XI which won in north London on New Year’s Day, it is a role he has had to embrace. But he has been impeccable in setting the standard under Unai Emery. Seeing a teammate who turns 38 this summer outpacing Heung-min Son really must stir the soul and his goal-line clearance from Harry Kane’s header was crucial.This has already been one of the great underrated careers for an English player. Young has won the Premier League, Serie A, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup, played under Sir Alex Ferguson, Louis van Gaal, Aidy Boothroyd, Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte and Gerard Houllier, featured in a World Cup semi-final, ranks 40th for all-time Premier League appearances above Gary Neville and Ashley Cole, made his debut in the old First Division and remains as consistent and reliable as ever. He is still a manager’s dream in his 20th season as a professional.

Very interesting Ashley Young interviewed on sky before the game against Leeds said there was a plan by Emery for him and his role.As well as alluding to a specific game plan for the team.
