Young Looks For Response At Leicester

Ashley Young insists he and his team-mates are focused on continuing Manchester United's good form in the Barclays Premier League when the Reds travel to Leicester City on Saturday.

The winger played the full 90 minutes in the 2-1 victory over his former club Watford last weekend, and is now targeting another haul of maximum away points at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes lead the Barclays Premier League and second-placed United will be motivated by the chance to leapfrog the hosts into first place. Young told MUTV: “Leicester are the leaders, so this is a top-of-the-table clash. “We’ll be looking to keep up the good form we’ve shown in the league over the last few weeks, and hopefully get the three points.”

Young was speaking after his side were held to a 0-0 draw by PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night, when the winger came on as a substitute for Memphis just before the hour-mark. After being unable to help the Reds break the deadlock, the no.18 will be eyeing Saturday’s tea-time game as an opportunity to respond after the Champions League stalemate.

“With the chances we created against PSV, we felt we should have won the game," he reflected.

"In the second half it became open and they had a couple of chances as well. But we still felt we should have won, so there's a lot of disappointment around the place.

"We've just got to pick ourselves up now and go again at the weekend."
