Ashley Young is becoming Jose Mourinho's Premier League away talisman.

Well, he's only played three times in the league this season but the Reds haven't lost any of them.

When Manchester United have needed a specific job done or to help out a tough situation Young has answered the SOS.

The 31-year-old was instrumental to Mourinho's plans at Anfield in October when he helped stop a Jurgen Klopp Liverpool side who were scoring for fun then.

Then he came in when Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw ducked out of Swansea.

And as a left-back, wing back, winger at Middlesbrough he was never found wanting. He stopped his man, joined attacks and set up Fellaini's opener at the Riverside.

He's been called on more often of late in the Europa League and FA Cup and you can see why Mourinho likes him up his sleeve. Young's experience when United are starting to fade physically due to their many commitments has been vital.

He was no slouch facing the potential danger man Stewart Downing at times and the road runner that is Adama Traore when he came on as sub.

It was a captain's effort in all but name.
