“We came into the season saying we wanted to fight for the title,” Young told MUTV.

“A club like United wants to fight for everything we’re involved in – the league, the Champions League and both the cup competitions. We want to get ourselves back to winning silverware.

“We’re doing well in the league but there is a long way to go, so we just take each game as it comes.”
