Ashley Young has been voted Manchester United’s Man of the Match by fans on Twitter after his impressive two-goal display in Tuesday’s thrilling 4-2 triumph over Watford.

Premier League / Vicarage Road / Attendance: 20,552 / Scorers: Young 19, 25, Martial 32, Lingard 86; Deeney pen. 77, Doucoure 84 Manchester United netted four goals on the road - including two in six minutes from Ashley Young - to see off Watford and keep the pressure on rivals Manchester City. Anthony Martial's fine first-half finish made it 3-0 for half-time and Jessie Lingard's stunning second-half solo goal ensured the Reds shrugged off an attempted comeback from the Hornets.

Premier League | 25 November 2017 | Old Trafford | Attendance: 75,018 | Scorer: Dunk o.g. 66. Ashley Young's deflected effort, which will probably go down as an own goal by Lewis Dunk, was enough for Manchester United to secure a vital, but hard-fought 1-0 win over a dogged Brighton at Old Trafford.

There are often turning points, single moments in a match, when fans look back and think ‘that kickstarted his career’. The Old Trafford faithful possibly witnessed that exact moment on Saturday when Victor Lindelof arrived – in more ways than one – with a crunching, but fair, challenge on Anthony Knockaert which seemed to help inspire the Reds to defeat Brighton.

Champions League Group A | 22 November 2017 | St. Jakob-Park | Attendance: 36,000 | Scorer: Lang 89 Jose Mourinho warned Basel would be forced to go on the offensive if CSKA Moscow won the earlier Group A game and he was proved correct as, after being bossed for much of the first half, the Swiss side carried the greater threat and grabbed a late winner.

Setting the scene… Manchester United returned from the international break in fine style, with a 4-1 win over Rafa Benitez's Newcastle United. Despite going behind inside 15 minutes, the Reds rallied back with goals from Anthony Martial and Chris Smalling before the break. Paul Pogba, returning from injury, and Romelu Lukaku added to goals in the second half, to complete the rout.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic again likened himself to a lion after returning from his serious knee injury miraculously ahead of schedule in Manchester United's 4-1 thumping of Newcastle United.
