Manchester United swooped to sign the England international from Aston Villa in the summer of 2011 as Sir Alex Ferguson looked to instil more creativity into his midfield. Young hit the ground running, and the former Watford younger is now vital for club and country.

The Stevenage-born winger also knows where the goal is, scoring to sumptuous long-range efforts in United’s famous 8-2 destruction of Arsenal just a few weeks into the 2011-12 season.
