Alex Moreno’s arrival in January means from a playing perspective Young shouldn’t be required as often next s꧙eason.

He’s mainly filled in at right-back this season due to Matty Ca🅠sh’s absence and still perform🐼ed brilliantly.

It’s a shame for Young that he won’t get to join Aston Villa as 🤪they return to European action next season.
