Snubbed Ash: I will not be driven out of Manchester United

ASHLEY YOUNG insists he will not be driven out of Manchester United.

The England winger has become frustrated after starting just seven games this season.

Young, 27, has struggled with injuries and also suffered after boss Alex Ferguson switched to a diamond formation that meant United dumped their wingers.

He moaned: “When I was at Villa, I barely missed a match so I’ve found these periods when I’ve been out very difficult to take.

“As a footballer you always want to be playing. It is never nice when you are on the sidelines.

“I never realised how hard it was to keep yourself motivated when everybody else is out training and you are stuck inside doing rehab.”

Young insists he can fit into Fergie’s new formation.

He added: “I wasn’t worried when the diamond formation emerged. It was fine.

“I’m a versatile player who can operate in a number of different positions so I’m comfortable with whatever formation the manager picks.”
