Young determined to earn Man Utd place

Ashley Young is determined to earn a place in Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal's team.

Young was back from a groin injury for the draw at West Bromwich Albion on Monday.

"I just want to play the best I can. The manager has shown faith in me and I want to go out there and play well," he said after coming on to replace Angel Di Maria in the 2-2 draw with West Brom on Monday night.

"The injury was a setback. It's disappointing for any player to get injured but I'm back fit now and I'm only looking ahead. I'm not looking back.

"The new manager has his methods and philosophy and everyone has bought into it. We've shown we can go into games and play different formations. We showed that again at West Brom.

"It wasn't any different for me. It was new things in the role I was playing but like I said the manager changed the system and we're capable of changing the system against different teams."
