    Does Ashley Young deserve a one-year contract extension?

    Played for England, as good as any other right back we have – YES

    Neither Young or our other so called right back Valencia should have been given their current contracts never mind any extensions. Get rid of both.

    Get rid of retired wingers who cant defend as fullbacks.
    This is Man United and we should have better players.

    @bigK, would worry about the logic of giving contract extensions on the basis of a player being as good as any other player we have in that position.
    He may be no worse or no better so how does that raise standards – surely by acquiring players who are better than what we have or by retaining players who are better than whats out there in the market. Our central defence fir example is a hodge podge of mediocrity with none standing out.
    If the argument was kerpibg Young as a versatile backup for both left and right back positions, then that would be more plausible.

    Yes on the sole condition that Valencia leaves. As an experienced player and cover for LB and RB he is fine. If the contract is as a 1st team regular then no and Valencia can go as well.

    By the start of next season he’ll be 34, if he’s being kept on a smaller wage with a reduced role then yes. If his wages are staying the same and he’ll still be starting every game then no. He’s too old and we need to look at giving Dalot a shot and if necessary bring back Fosu-Mensah who has been doing well at lower clubs. However, TFM needs a run of games injury free to see what he can really do. He was doing well at Palace last year and got injured and never really got back into the side. He seems to be doing ok at Fulham but with a new coach there it’ll be interesting to see how much game time he gets. If he can nail down a spot under Ranieri you’d have to reckon he’s, at the very least, a good footballer which is all Ashley Young is at this stage in his career.

    What a bunch of slapped arses. Can play at right back, left back and on either wing…in a team lacking leadership and character (hello 89 million pound Paul and 75 million pound Romelus) I think Ashley Young is great to have around. Should he be first choice in any position? Absolutely not. Captain? Jesus Christ no. The fact he is our best full back on either side is the real issue that needs dealing with here.

    Dummies back in, children.

    @wg, most of us seem to be saying no to be fair. If he is being kept as a squad player then yes, as a first teamer no seems to be the general consensus. As you have said, the massive elephant in the room is the issue that he seems to be our best full back.

    I like Young. He’s experienced, has great delivery from set pieces and can cross the ball from the right wing. Also, unlike Valencia, he speaks fluent English which is always a bonus!
    I’d release Valencia and offer 1 year contract to young on about half his current wage and hopefully Dalot can make the RB position his own. Young will be a good, versatile squad player next season
