After earning a recall to the
England squad, Manchester United player
Ashley Young has come his target is
to make the final squad to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The 32-year-old's impressive rejuvenation
means the converted wing-back is on the cusp of his first England appearance in
more than four years as Gareth Southgate
looks set to move to a back-three formation in the upcoming friendlies against
Germany and Brazil.
Young could now win his first international cap since coming off the bench as a winger in a goalless draw in Ukraine in September 2013, and is ready to play anywhere on the pitch in his bid to be on the plane to Russia next year.

He said “I'd prefer it if I was playing further up the pitch, but I've been able
to adapt and play as a left-back or a right-back and as a wing-back, I've been
enjoying football, playing well. Every time I put on the shirt I feel like I've
played well and that I deserve the call-up. As a footballer nowadays you have
to be able to adapt and play in different positions, different formations,
different systems," he said. "It's just whether you can adapt to
that. The manager is talking about a 3-4-3 or wing-backs or 3-5-2 and I feel
like I can step into that role. I've shown I am deserving to be in the England
squad but I don't just want a place in the squad, I want to be in the team. I'm
one of those players who wants to play every game and the World Cup is a long
way away - but at the back of my mind I think every English player wants to go
to the World Cup.”
