Ashley Young states his prediction for Man United v West Brom

Ashley Young has warned his Manchester United team-mates that they are set to face a stern test of their top-four credentials when they take on West Brom at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Red Devils are preparing to welcome the Baggies to Old Trafford as they look to try and continue their march towards a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho’s men are currently in fifth place in the table as they look to try and secure their place in Europe’s elite club competition for next season.

Manchester United are currently behind fourth-placed Liverpool in the table but know that they will leapfrog their bitter rivals into fourth spot if they win their two games in hand.

Young is wary of the threat posed by West Brom at set-pieces but is confident Mourinho’s men have what it takes to get the job done at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Speaking to Manchester United’s website before the game, Young said: “Usually, West Brom come to defend and look for set-pieces, which they are brilliant at.

“So they are dangerous but everyone is confident going into the game and we’re looking to get ourselves into that top-four position.”

Manchester United finished fifth and won the FA Cup under Louis van Gaal last season.
