Sunday stroll United never needed to get out of 2nd gear to comfortably win. With four games to play United have more points now than they got all of last season.

Everton up next no doubt they will give United a better game than Villa did today.

Are the real United fans on here disappointed with Ashley Young?

That's two games recently that have been strolls yet Young felt compelled to cheat the rec and fellow professionals. Why?

At least the English journos have called it and admit it isnt a foreign disease.

At least their was more contact today but Young certainly over plays it. Don't know why, Nani use to go flying with every challenge thankfully he cut it out.

Young made the most of it but The ref was right on the spot & didn't hesitate in awarding it. The defending by Villa on the first two goals was atrocious.

Was a pen alright but young exaggerated the fall. No need for that stuff.

Excellent question!

Had a great insight into the mind of a United fan earlier on Facebook complaining that the referee has ruined a good FA Cup semi final for the neutral with a bad decision. Deluded outfit.

Surely you mean 'english soccer fan' ?

The faux outrage about Young's diving makes me laugh. Every team in soccer (including our Boys in Green) has divers (or guys "who go down easily" when its one of your own) and there is zero appetite in the game (FIFA/UEFA) to stop this carry on so it will go on.

I'd also like to point out to the conspiracy theorists that there have been quite a few penalties in the recent run of games that United should have got that they didn't get. Obviously it doesn't suit their agenda to acknowledge this but there was another stone wall pen yesterday not given. Young's, despite his theatrics, was a penalty.

So another game ticked off. Next game at home against a useful Everton side is huge now.

I love it, "exaggerated the fall" ;D  I should have used that one in Drogba's heyday!!

He's very frustrating. IMO it was never a pen. He went looking for the penalty - I think the ref gave it as he probably thought that Young wouldn't have the audacity to do that 2 weeks in a row.

The boy is going to get a rep like Suarez has now! No Need!

Still a decent performace, with some nice passing & moves. Don't see why Wellbeck is getting a touch. I think he's going to be a hell of a striker.
