Ashley Young has described Manchester United's confidence as "sky high" after four consecutive Premier League wins.

Following an inconsistent first three months under Louis van Gaal, the Reds have rallied over the last month and shot up to fourth in the table.

United face Southampton on Monday night at St Mary's, where a win will take them above the Saints and up to third.

Young has started the last two games, having performed impressively in the significant win at Arsenal, and is adamant United are heading in the right direction.

"When you are winning games then confidence is always sky high," Young said. "When you have been on a run of wins - both at home and away - then it is fantastic for confidence.

"Everybody is pulling in the right direction and feeling good and we will take that into the game against Southampton. It is going to be a big game and there are definitely no easy games in the Premier League.

"Southampton have started the season very well and are third in the league, so we know it is going to be tough. But if we can go there and produce displays like we have shown, especially in the last four matches, then I'm sure we can get the three points."
