Most Seen: Read what Young and Dele Alli to each other
Ashley Young told Dele Alli 'let me know when you win the Prem' after the Tottenham playmaker told him to 'retire with a zimmer frame'.
Young and
Alli were involved in a 30th minute spat during Manchester United's win
over Tottenham after Young claimed he was caught in the face by Spurs
right-back Serge Aurier. Alli got involved and went head-to-head with Young
before players from both sides intervened during the first-half melee.
The verbals between
Young and Alli continued after referee Jon Moss attempted to defuse the
situation and M.E.N. Sport understands Alli informed the 32-year-old he should
'retire with a zimmer frame'. Young, who has won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League
with United, is believed to have responded by advising Alli not to speak to him
so disrespectfully until he has won something. Young ended the bickering by
telling Alli: "Let me know when you win the Prem." The verbals are
also understood to have continued in the tunnel.
Young mocked Alli's
lip after the game with a tweet which read: "Great
Team Spirit. Very Good Result. Talk is Cheap."
Former United captain Gary Neville thought
Young was trying to provoke the tempestuous Alli - who received a retrospective
ban for punching West Brom's Claudio Yacob two seasons ago and was sent off for
a vicious foul against Gent earlier this year - into lashing out and receiving
a red card.
"Ashley Young knows exactly what he is
doing and there might have been a time when Dele Allii would have reacted and
thrown his head forward, but he hasn't," Neville said on commentary for
Sky Sports. "His [Alli's] heart would have been saying 'I want to break
your nose,' his head would have been saying, 'don't lose the game for my team.'"
