Danny Welbeck got his first England goal in their 1-0 win over Belgium in a friendly. Ashley Young got the assist for the goal which saw Welbeck finish with a lovely dink over the keeper.

"To get my first England goal in that way, obviously I'm really delighted and it's a massive honour," said Welbeck.

Ashley Young has reflected on his first year at United, claiming that his strong desire to win is something he shares in common with Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Sir Alex Ferguson has been a massive influence on me," Young told The Mirror. "I said at the time that as soon as Sir Alex comes knocking at the door, it's a no-brainer.

Andy Carroll is determined to make the most of his England opportunity, with there every chance that he will lead Roy Hodgson's line at Euro 2012.
The Liverpool striker was handed a starting berth on Saturday as Hodgson's reign as Three Lions boss began with a 1-0 win over Norway.
Carroll's fine form towards the end of the Premier League season has earned him international recognition, and the burly frontman is ready to prove that he can cut it at the very highest level.

Steven Gerrard has played down any fears about his own fitness after playing just a half for England in their friendly with Norway.
The Liverpool skipper has endured a stop-start season both for club and country mainly because of a hamstring injury and in Saturday's international match, the midfield talisman played just 45 minutes of the 1-0 win in Oslo.

Ashley Young danced around Brede Hangeland for a dazzling 9th minute strike. The rest of the match wasn't. Andy Carroll was an aerial threat as he should be but the fans were not reading too much into this win.

As this summer's European Championship draws closer, the England national team is bracing themselves for an eventful tournament. Unfortunately, concerns of racist xenophobia are rearing its ugly head once again.

In the days leading up to the Euro, there have been numerous stories of how the families of black English players are refusing to travel this summer to the Ukraine or Poland due to concerns of racial violence and abuse.

Ashley Young's classy ninth minute finish was enough to see new England manager Roy Hodgson a winning start to his England reign against Norway, in this Euro 2012 warm up friendly.

The Roy Hodgson era as England manager has began with a 1-0 victory at Norway, but the fee good feeling was slightly marred by a double injury scare ahead of Euro 2012.

Manchester United winger Ashley Young scored the only goal to give Hodgson victory in his first match in charge.

But there are concerns over ­Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry and Spurs' Scott Parker, who both came off.

Norway 0-1 England International Friendly 26th May 2012

England secured their first win against Norway in 32 years on Saturday evening, courtesy of a single goal from Ashley Young. The United wideman netted superbly inside 10 minutes to give Roy Hodgson a winning start to his England reign, although overall, the Three Lions were rather sloppy in possession.

Alex McLeish has been sacked as Aston Villa manager after just one season in charge of the Premier League club.

A vocal minority of Villa fans did not want McLeish, who used to manage bitter rivals Birmingham City, in the first place and they got their wish as today he was terminated "with immediate effect" because "the club has been disappointed with this season's results, performances and the general message these have sent to our fans.

A huge game today with Sunderland vs Man United and Man United looking for 3 points to keep the pressure on City. If United win here and City don't beat QPR then the Premier League will be heading to Old Trafford again, but if City win then United can't overtake them in the league unless they are to amazingly beat Sunderland by 8 or 9 goals, unfortunately this is unlikely to happen for the club.

Manchester United 2-0 Swansea City Premier League 6th May 2012

First-half goals from Paul Scholes and Ashley Young secured three points for United against Swansea, points which see the destination of the title still undecided ahead of the final day of the season.

Manchester United waved goodbye to Old Trafford for this season with a comfortable 2-0 over Swansea. Goals from Paul Scholes and Ashley Young secured three points for the Reds, meaning that the title will now be decided on the last game of the season. United took the field after bad news had filtered in from [.

First-half goals from Paul Scholes and Ashley Young ensured the title will go down to the wire, however with United with a tricky trip to the Stadium Of Light next week and City with a home tie v QPR and an 8 goal advantage it looks as if the noisey neighbours are going to be a hell of a lot noisier next week-end.

TweetManchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that he needed to 'have words' with winger Ashley Young in the wake of his latest diving storm. Young took a plunge during Manchester United's 4-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend prompting outrage from the Villa bench as Young's reputation for diving continues to grow.

Some players have always gone down too easily, there is no denying that, and it happens on numerous occasions in every game but the spotlight comes in high profile situations.

Speculation has been rife in recent weeks, especially with the actions of Manchester United's Ashley Young. The pacy winger has won his side two crucial penalties in their title run-in despite clearly going to ground far too easily on both occasions.

Ashley Young has been earning himself quite the reputation the past few weeks, but it's a reputation that will ultimately come back to haunt both him and Manchester United in the future. There is a reason that he is allowed ...

Everyone's favourite overly-literal Taiwanese animated news outlet, NMA TV, are back and this time they're turning their focus on Ashley Young's aversion to maintaining a vertical base in an earnest analytical report entitled 'Ashley Young is a Diving Wanker'.

Following a series of incidents that have drawn accusations of blatant diving and scorn from fans around the world, Manchester United winger Ashley Young has admitted failure in his attempt to design rocket-propelled football boots.

"When I joined Manchester United, I knew I had to improve my game," Young told reporters.

1. After dropping points against Wigan and seeing City batter Norwich 6-1, it was so important we went out and got a result against Villa. A scrappy 1-0 would have done but it was pleasing to see us go out and batter Villa to swing the momentum in our favour again. The second half performance was one of the best we've seen from United in a while.

Even Fergie is calling Ashley a big tutu-wearin' diver, so it must be bad. (Though do make sure to note one can dive while the penalty is deserved.) Ashley's aerial acrobatics have earned headlines of recent, particularly against QPR, but the way he vaulted his body against Aston Villa this weekened put the video editing internet community on high alert.

TweetIn the wake of yet another diving scandal Manchester United winger Ashley Young has been lambasted by pundits as well as fellow professionals.

1. Ashley Young has taken QPR owner Tony Fernandes' suggestion seriously and is making a genuine effort to be Tom Daley's diving partner at London 2012. 2. Amid all the heightened security presence in the Falklands, the UK took its eyes off the ball and Norwich fell prey to some impressive Argentinian attacks on Saturday.

Manchester United restored their 5-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa courtesy of two goals from Wayne Rooney and one apiece from Danny Welbeck and Nani.

Manchester United 4-0 Aston Villa Premier League 15th April 2012

He's done it again! Swiftly making a name for himself as the Premier League's premier diver, Ashley Young earned his side a penalty after 'making the most' of the slightest of contact from Ciaran Clark in the Villa box.

By Alan Duffy

Oops he did it again. Very little that can be said to defend or justify Ashley Young's dive. A fine player, he is rather tarnishing his name with this kind of rubbish.

Then again, after getting away with it against QPR (and the FA refusing to rescind Shaun Derry's red card), who can blame Young for trying it again.

I will let Ashley Young's acting do the talking, I do not need to condemn him with words, his actions do that on their own. It is beyond a disgrace that we are having to see cheating like this week in week out and the authorities are doing absolutely nothing to stamp it out. It would be easy to retrospectively ban players found guilty of clear diving in the penalty box for three games,

Word has just filtered through that the FA have rejected QPR's appeal over Shaun Derry's naff red card against Manchester United on Sunday. On what grounds? We haven't got the foggiest!

Here's the FA's statement in its entirety:

"Queens Park Rangers midfielder Shaun Derry will serve a one match suspension with immediate effect after his claim of wrongful dismissal was rejected by a Regulatory Commission today [Tuesday 10 April].
