United winger sidelined after picking up injury

Manchester United have confirmed that Ashley Young will not play again this year. The England winger was injured during United's clash with Fulham, which the Red Devils comfortably won 5-0. Young actually started the match on the bench, but he came on early to replace the injured Phil Jones. However, on the hour Young was then forced off himself after a tough tackle from Dickson Etuhu. Sir Alex Ferguson revealed Young would be sidelined, and he was not too happy with Fulham's approach. "The tackle on Ashley Young was a very aggressive tackle and I will have to see that again," Ferguson told MUTV. "Fulham were very aggressive in the second half and Ashley Young has paid the price for that. "He has got a sore one so will be out for two to three weeks."
