Jose Mourinho singles out Man Utd star: In my opinion he is phenomenal

JOSE MOURINHO heaped plenty of praise of Ashley Young following his third straight loss as Manchester United boss.

The Red Devils suffered a 3-1 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road earlier today - the first time the Portuguese has lost three games in a row in the same season in 14 years.
And while he didn't hold back in his criticism of Luke Shaw, Mourinho did reserve a special mention for Young.
"I have this capacity of balance," Mourinho told MUTV. "Balance is, for me, not running around the pitch when we were winning a couple of matches and nobody sees now me being too depressed.

"I'm sad. Obviously, I'm sad but, as I was telling the players, there is only one way.
"At 10:30 in the morning, we have a training session and we have to be there. They have to work, they have to show themselves with a certain kind of attitude towards negative moments.
"I show them, as an example, Ashley Young who was, in my opinion, phenomenal with his attitude, positivity and determination.

"We need positive people to give us a positive feeling because, next time these boys are going onto a football pitch, they are going to feel, obviously as normal human beings, the weight of the defeats."
Young made only his second appearance of the season in the 3-1 defeat as he came on as a sub for Anthony Martial on 38 minutes.
