Young: Take Form Into Europe

Ashley Young has called on his Manchester United team-mates to take their Premier League form into Europe as Louis van Gaal's side look to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in their opening Group B defeat.

United are top of the Premier League following Saturday's 3-0 win over Sunderland - their third straight league win - and Young believes they must take their domestic momentum into Wednesday's tie with Wolfsburg at Old Trafford.

Wolfsburg have domestic problems of their own, having conceded five Robert Lewandowski goals in nine minutes in a 5-1 Bundesliga defeat to Bayern Munich last week.

"We just have to keep playing with confidence. We have been winning games and we need to keep the run going," said Young.

"It is important to get a win against Wolfsburg. If you want to win the Champions League then you have to win your home games.

"It was a disappointing start to the European campaign especially the possession and chances we had in Eindhoven - that really was disappointing. We have to start winning in the group now.

"We have been in it for so many years and we have so many who have played Champions League football over those years so we were disappointed not to be in it [last season].

"There is pressure on all the players in the squad not just the experienced ones. It is how you deal with it."
