Young, Man U player, is not actually that young

June 27, 2011

Age is the big issue in football at the minute with every club hell-bent on recruiting foetuses, or so it seems. Chelsea’s manager demonstrates tactics using action figures, while Manchester United have pushed goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar aside, even though he is not eligible for a senior bus pass for another two years.

United have also brought in Ashley Young, but in a shocking development, we can reveal that Young is 25-years-old. Not old, but also hardly a teenager.

Many were intrigued as to how Alex Ferguson would react to this revelation. “I went mental,” said a tetchy, blotchy-faced man who may well have been the Manchester United manager.
