Young eyes Wembley after Saint-Etienne trip

Ashley Young is confident the Manchester United players have sufficient time to rest and recuperate ahead of Sunday’s EFL Cup final against Southampton at Wembley Stadium.

Jose Mourinho’s men secured a 1-0 win over Saint-Etienne at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Wednesday to progress into the Europa League Round of 16 with an excellent 4-0 aggregate victory.

The match was played a day earlier than usual due to Les Verts’ local rivals Olympique Lyonnais facing a European home game against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night, and that has afforded United another 24 hours’ rest ahead of the weekend's trip to the national stadium.
