Sunday's 8-2 hammering of Arsenal may rank as one of United's biggest victories of the Premier League era, but summer signing Ashley Young still believes it is not beyond the Reds to display the same ruthless approach in the coming months.
The winger bagged a spectacular brace for his first goals for the club and was delighted with the incisive, relentless attacking that blitzed the depleted and demolarised Gunners.
"We went about our job from the first minute all the way through to the last," Young told MUTV. "We were terrific today. We found an Arsenal team who weren’t so good on the day and we’ve punished them.
"You see the way we go forward at pace and we’re always looking to create chances from the first minute right to the end. We were terrific today, from the goalkeeper to the front man. It was a great team performance and hopefully we can continue that form we’ve shown so far and take that right the way through the season."
Despite his own impressive display Young was fulsome in his praise of two team mates: Wayne Rooney for his hat-trick (two free-kicks and a penalty), and goalkeeper David De Gea who saved a spot kick just moments before the Reds crucial second goal.
"The boys are delighted for him (Rooney) to get the hat-trick," he said. "I think he even wanted to give up the penalty to Giggsy, which just shows what kind of person he is and it was brilliant for him."
"It was a great save," he added, of De Gea's vital stop from Robin van Persie. "We’ve seen it in training, how good he is, and he’s shown it again today. The penalty save was terrific and throughout the game he did great."
