Ashley Young gives Dele Alli mother of put downs as duo scrap during Manchester United’s victory over Tottenham
Pair went nose-to-nose during first half at Old Trafford — with eagle-eyed viewers catching what was said in exchange
ASHLEY YOUNG gave Dele Alli the mother of all put downs during Manchester United’s narrow victory over Tottenham.
The duo almost came to blows in the first half with the Red Devils winger trying to wind up the notorious Spurs hothead.
They were pulled apart by team-mates but the war of words continued — with Young clearly coming out on top.
As the two were walking away, eagle-eyed viewers caught the ex-Aston Villa man saying: “When you’ve won the Premier League, let me know.”
Ouch!
Young, 32, was a title-winner with United back in 2012-13, in Sir Alex Ferguson‘s final season as manager.
While, Alli, despite his incredible potential, has yet to win any kind of trophy, having already finished a runner up in each of the past three seasons.
Twice with Tottenham, and with MK Dons a year earlier.

When the duo went nose-to-nose, Spurs fans much have feared the worst given their No20’s chequered past in those situations.
However, he showed maturity and didn’t react.
The occasions was tense at Old Trafford with defeat potentially damaging to both.
With the score at 0-0, Alli missed a gilt-edged chance to open the scoring.
And, just moments later, Tottenham were punished with Anthony Martial scoring the game’s only goal.
