Man United fans will love Ashley Young's tweet after noticing what he did during the Spurs game

Ashley Young has caused a stir after Manchester United fans spotted

footage of the wing-back speaking to the Old Trafford ballboys during

the 2-1 win over Tottenham.

Young was recalled to the United starting line-up by Ole Gunnar

Solskjaer in place of teenager Brandon Williams, and repaid the faith

by captaining the Red Devils to a well deserved victory over Spurs.

Two goals from Marcus Rashford, one from the penalty spot, sealed

the three points and saw United climb to sixth in the table, eight

points behind four placed Chelsea.

But it was one moment in the second half involving Young which had

supporters talking online.

With United leading, Young was seen on the touchline in the 74th

minute waiting for the ballboys to deliver the ball for a throw-in.

However, the 34-year-old was heard talking to teammate Juan Mata,

who was warming up on the touchline, and appeared to say: "Ball

boys need to take their time when the ball goes out for a throw."

After the game, Young seemingly confirmed his actions when

responding to a tweet with shushing emojis and a laughing face.

Speaking after his first defeat as Tottenham head coach, Jose

Mourinho admitted his side were second best for large periods of the

first half.

"For 30 minutes they not just better than us, they were much better

than us," he said.

"They were better in intensity, in aggression, they were winning first

balls, second balls, 50/50 duels, but we were lucky.

"Then in the last 15 minutes of the first half we were us and United

were in trouble. We scored a goal and I thought in the second half

with some adjustments we did at half-time, I thought we were going

to win it. But the second goal is not easy to process. P

everybody says it was a penalty.

"I prefer to say it was a throw-in, because the penalty was later.

 It is a

throw-in in the first minute in the second half and that for me is really

hard.

"You go from the 1-1 and you want to go there for the three points and

you arrive in the second half and they play the game that they want to

play.

"They dropped the block, they defend, they got fouls, a couple of

dangerous counter-attacks, closing, closing, closing. 

Then we had the

ball in the last third, the goal could happen, but didn't.

 I think they

deserved to win."
