Ashley Young: Manchester United are still in the title race

Four wins on-the-trot, and spirits are high in the Manchester United camp, as Ashley Young has spoken out about the current mood circulating Old Trafford. Sky Sports has reported the England Winger has attributed the club’s recent winning streak to the Champion spirit heavily ingrained within the fabric of Manchester United.

“We show that resilience, that strength in depth in the squad, that team spirit – we have got all that off the field, so when you take that onto the field, you win games and we have shown that in the past few performances,” Young claimed.

“If you were to ask anybody around the club, no-one would have ever said we were out of the title race.

“We have to just keep winning games. Our momentum is building now and we have to keep playing as we have done to take those chances which will see us back up the table.”

David Moyes also appears to have become enveloped by the sense of optimism at United, and sought to spur his players on with recent comments made.

“We have to keep moving on and believing that we are going to catch the teams above us, we have to believe that we are going to go out and win the games,” he said.

“We look more likely to score goals and it looks as if we are creating more. The players are getting the bit between their teeth again and I think they are generally doing much better.”
