Gary Neville has admitted that the man currently filling the void at left-back for Manchetser United has surprised him this season.

The former United skipper watched his old club defeat West Brom 2-1 on Sunday to keep up with leaders Manchester City.

It was another match which saw Ashley Young play at left-back as he continues to cement his place in the starting line-up.

And Neville has moved to praise the ex-Aston Villa man for his resurgence over the past 18 months or so.

“Going back to Ashley Young, he really has had a resurgence in a number of different positions for Jose Mourinho.” Neville told Sky Sports

“It’s incredible. Eighteen months ago you were thinking that his time at Manchester United would be finished.

“He’s reliable, hard working, he has a great mentality…”
