Is Ashley Young......

a better crosser on the right side of midfield?


From the last game against Hannover, I think he is.

He's more experienced cutting in and crossing or shooting from the left, so maybe it was just that game. However, it wouldn't surprise me if you're right, as he is right footed after all and crosses that swing away from the keeper are genearlly more dangerous. That's why I think a left footed winger or defender of the mould of Marcelo, Bale, Adriano would be the best signing we could make this summer, even if it meant sacrificing Nani or Young. Unfortunately, I don't think that player is out there.

Maybe Jesse Lingard will step up and make that role his own. The left wing spot is definitely up for grabs. Even Cleverley and Welbeck have the potential to take that spot from Nani and Young this season.

Hope Lingard gets some first team opportunities this season, kid looks like a real gem in the making. Surprised no one has been saying anything about him. Is he left footed ?

Young will never be United quality. Nani should have gottne the number 7 shirt

What am I seeing, two new United fans in here? Surely that's just temporary

Young is better on the left.

Lingard is really exciting. The best thing about him is the way he passes, he has a brilliant feel for the weight and accuracy of a pass, and he's very creative. He's not like Nani where he dribbles at the full-back, and he's not like Valencia where he kicks the ball past him and keeps putting in crosses until it works. He links up with the midfielders and strikers and only plays the cross or through ball when the time is right, which is exactly what the perfect winger should do.

Out of all the forward players in the reserves, he's the one that impresses me the most.

I think the ones that will make it into the first team are him, Tunnicliffe, one or two of the defenders and maybe Petrucci.

One week.

As I recall from last season, he often crossed the ball too far to the right. However, against Hannover, every single cross that he made from the right was deadly and accurate. As a right side midfielder, he could cross it early - which is something he rarely does on the left - and the ball would find the right player at the right spot. Even though he spent the entire of last season as a left side midfielder, he was somewhat more impressive with his crosses from the right in just one game.

I like that you seem to practice what you preach in your signature (although I would argue that if every man were wise, ie. everything that everyone had to say was worth saying, then the ones that said the most wise things would be the wisest. Kind of like the goal difference of wiseness ).

Why are you too butthurt over this?

There were two people who registered, and if you bother too much about this might just show that you care as f*ck then welcome to the desert of GL.

I may have 338 posts but that is because most of the time I am content on lurking around these forums.

Back on topic, I think Young should stick on the left flank and Nani/Valencia on the right.
