  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Ashley Young's son, Tyler, made his debut for Peterborough earlier this week, coming on as a substitute in their 2-0 win over Stevenage in the EFL Cup on Tuesday. It's quite remarkable given Young Sr. is still plying his trade in the Premier League with Everton at the age of 39.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Tyler was sent on by manager Darren Ferguson, himself the child of the legendary Sir Alex, who signed Ashley for United in 2011. Young made a total of 261 appearances at Old Trafford.

  • WHAT YOUNG SAID

    Writing on Instagram, Young said: "Proud doesn't even begin to explain this moment for you. Congrats on your debut son and hopefully many many more to come."
