Ashley Young struck twice against his old club as Manchester United cured their recent travel sickness with a 4-2 victory at Watford to close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City to five points on Tuesday. Two minutes later, however, Jesse Lingard scored a superb individual goal on the counter-attack to settle United’s nerves. Second-placed United have 32 points with City, who host Southampton on Wednesday, on 37. “We had chances to make it four, five and six,” United manager Jose Mourinho told reporters. But the game changed in the 19th minute when left back Young beat Herelho Gomes with a powerful shot inside the near post.
