The 33-year-old was happy with his side's display against Chelsea and wants to see them start on the front foot when they host the Serie A champions
Ashley Young has urged Manchester United to build on their strong performance against Chelsea by setting out to attack Juventus in Tuesday's Champions League clash.
After going behind in the first half on Saturday, Jose Mourinho's side struck back with two goals from Anthony Martial, but were denied a victory at Stamford Bridge when Ross Barkley struck late in stoppage time to seal a 2-2 draw.
Young believes his side should have won the game, however, and is sure they will take confidence from the display as they prepare to welcome Serie A leaders Juve to Old Trafford.
“I think we deserved to win it," he told MUTV . "Especially when we got back into the game and we really did get on top, but this is what we have to do [against Juventus].
“We have to go into the game looking to start on more of the front foot, especially at home. That’s the way we have got to do it, like we did in the second half against Newcastle and for 60, 65 minutes of this game against Chelsea and as long as we play that way then I am sure we will get the right result."
He added: "We have to take the positives from the game and I think the way we played in the second half especially, we were fantastic at times.
“On another day we could have scored a third goal, but it wasn’t meant to be. It comes off the post, David [de Gea] saves it, it goes back to their man and they score. It is disappointing, but we have to take the positives from the game and kick on from here.
“There were spaces for us to play in, especially in the first half when we got the ball to our front three and we actually said it was fairly easy to get it to them, but that end pass, that cross or that [final] shot is what we needed to improve and we did that in the second half. Like I say, on another day we could have gone on to get another goal, but it wasn’t meant to be.”
United are ninth in the Premier League with 14 points from nine games, leaving them nine points behind Manchester City and Liverpool.

initially there was no fuel at the bus. but right now, the bus is moving very fine. when you defend too much, you give room for your opponent to attack you .i love the performances that they put up at the bridge. I hope they replicate it against juve.

If it was Pogba that said United should attack, it will have been a bad thing to the enemies , now young too is saying but yet no one complain about it , why hating one and loving the other,no need to mention names of those doing that and especially the legends , u really need to love all of your players and tuve them the confidence to play with no fear

The negativity is astounding. We comeback against Newcastle, "Well, its only Newcastle" Ok then, lets comeback on Chelsea and be unlucky to draw "Well, Juventus are of another class" If we do well against Juve what'll be then? I swear some people here are determined to see us fail just confirm their bias. Have some belief for goodness sake! You negative nancys need to look up 'supporter' in the dicitionary. It's shameful

Proves we have the playing ability to stage a comeback and nearly win a big away fixture. That could be key in getting 4+ points in our remaining Champions League away matches. Giving up relatively early goals is still a concern and honestly will cost us further advancement in the Champions League.

I think Mourinho have started changing his tactics to attacking football. The display against was the best performance from Manchester United for a decade since Sir Alex retired. I so impressed by the performances ,if we can keep it up that means we have come back to the right ty track.

To be fair, Chelsea has a new manager playing a drastically different style and the squad is still getting accustomed to the new system and tactics. Juve is a well-oiled machine that has reached two Champions League finals under their current manager and just added Cristiano Ronaldo to the squad this summer. Jose said it best when he said Chelsea may be one of the best teams in the league right now, but Juventus is probably the best team in Europe. Even getting a point at home would realistically be an incredible result.
