Manchester United ace Ashley Young desperate to get back on the scoresheet: 'It's about time'
- Manchester United have scored 25 goals in nine games so far this season
- Wing-back Ashley Young has not found the back of the net since 2015-16 season
- United will face CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday night
Manchester United have hit a rich vein of goalscoring form this season and Ashley Young is desperate to get in on the act.
United have scored 25 goals in nine matches, shared between eight different scorers - but Young is not one of them.
The wing back believes United sharing the burden around the team can only be a positive for Jose Mourinho's squad.

And although the England international hasn't netted for his club since the 2015-16 season, he is happy with his contribution in other areas of the game.
'I have thought it's about time I get back on the scoresheet,' Young told the club's website. 'But as long as I'm performing and playing well that's all that matters.
'There's been eight different goalscorers so we've had goals from all over the team. I think that's ideal, it's what you need to take you forward and help you to win things.
'Goals from all round the park do help and (Antonio) Valencia's (goal against Everton) will be right up there for the goal of the season, I think.'

Young will hope to retain his place on the flank when United face CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The 32-year-old described the Russian capital as a 'hostile' place to go and he expects nothing different this week.
The Red Devils last won the Champions League in the 2007-08 season, and Young believes after qualifying through the Europa League last term, he and his team-mates can go one further this year.
'A club of our size should always be fighting for the Champions League, fighting for titles and everyone's delighted we've got Champions League football back,' Young added.
'But, it's not just one of those things to be back in it, we want to go as far as we can in it.'
