A biography for Ashley Younghasn’t been written yet.
“I'm not one of those players who talks about things off the field. It's about what trophies and titles and cups you've won.”
“I've been a versatile player since I started playing football.”
“I've played at a European Championship; to represent your country at a World Cup is every boy's dream, and for me, it would definitely be a dream come true.”
“As players, we have to concentrate with what happens on the pitch, not off it.”
“I'm enjoying playing football, and as a footballer, that's what you want to do, and that is exactly what I've been doing.”
“It is always disappointing to obviously concede.”
“All I can do is keep playing as well as I can for United.”
“A lot of youngsters in the game think they've made it before they've done anything. But at United, they're given that winning mentality and an ethos of always trying to improve.”
“There's a lot said now about younger players: that it's just about the cars and houses. I'm from the old school - it's about what you've achieved in the game.”
“When you play for Manchester United, the pressure's on every week.”
“As I've got older, the nerves aren't there anymore; they just left one day when I was at Watford. I only feel excitement now, whatever the game.”
“I had to go to see the careers woman at school, and when she asked me what I wanted to do after school, I told her flat: 'I want to be a professional footballer.' I can remember her being silent for a few seconds, just looking at me.”
“I've always said, when you join a club like United, it's a tough place to play at. But if you play and train and give 100%, then get your opportunity - I've always said you always get your opportunity there.”
“I love playing football, and that's all I'm going to do.”
“Everyone has got to be prepared and ready to play when the manager calls on you.”
“I've had the same hunger, the same desire to win, since I started kicking a football when I was five years old.”
“To play at Wembley for my country is just incredible.”
“It's never easy in the Champions League, but you never know what can happen.”
“I've been watching 'Power.' I've been hooked on it.”
“I'm still operating as a wide player, and I'm still free to express myself, try to get one-v-one and get past someone, and there's no better feeling than getting over a great cross and someone scoring.”
