Ashley Young Hilariously Taunts Liverpool Amidst Their Potential Champions League Snub

by ·

Ashley Young, the former Manchester United player who now represents Aston Villa, took a cheeky dig at Liverpool after their 1-1 draw on Saturday severely impacted the Reds’ chances of securing a spot in the Champions League.

Young, although a substitute in the match at Anfield, witnessed Liverpool’s hopes of a top-four finish fade away. Jurgen Klopp’s side currently sits in fifth place, with 66 points on the table—three points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have a game in hand.

Delighting Man United fans, Young didn’t waste the opportunity to mock Liverpool’s predicament. Taking to social media after the match, he quote-tweeted a video of Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher discussing the top-four race on Sky Sports, with a sly comment. “Nothing like a plan coming together, OOPS,” he tweeted, playfully tagging Neville on Twitter.

Unsurprisingly, Young’s jibes were well-received by Man United fans online, who showered him with praise. Supporters hailed him as a legend and expressed their unwavering support for the player.

Currently in his second spell at Aston Villa, the 37-year-old Young has been a key contributor to the team’s campaign this season, featuring in 31 appearances across all competitions. As for Liverpool, their chances of qualifying for the Champions League are fading, with a fifth-place finish becoming increasingly likely, which would secure them a spot in the Europa League for the next season.

Reflecting on the draw, Klopp candidly stated, “I think the whole season is rather a season where we qualify for Europa League than for Champions League. We were for too long not good enough for ourselves.”

While Liverpool’s hopes dwindle, Ashley Young’s banter has certainly left an impact, further fueling the rivalry between the two historic clubs.
