My dad’s a former Man Utd title winner – now I’m making my own in the EFL
THE son of one Premier League champion is now carving his own way in the EFL.
Despite his dad still playing in England‘s top flight, the 18-year-old starlet is already making moves in the nation’s lower leagues.
Tyler Young is paving his own path in professional football
On the books at League One club Peterborough, Tyler Young is working towards making his first professional appearance.
Although the teenager hasn’t quite made his pro debut just yet, he has been on the bench for league and EFL Cup matches for the Posh this season.
And there will be high hopes for him going forward given that his dad is a 39-time England international with over 450 Premier League appearances under his belt and an enviable trophy cabinet.
The youngster is actually the son of former Man Utd star Ashley Young.
Young Sr is currently on the books at Everton and has had an incredible career that has seen him win the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup with Man United.
While he also lifted the Scudetto in Italy during a spell with Serie A giants Inter Milan.
And despite still going strong with the Toffees at 39, Young Sr still had time to support his lad on Tuesday night.
The former Aston Villa winger was in the crowd as Peterborough took on Wigan Athletic in League One – falling to a 3-0 defeat.

Unfortunately Young Jr didn’t make it off the bench and had to watch on from the sidelines like his dads as his side lost 3-0 to the Latics.
The rising star made the move to London Road this summer after leaving QPR’s U18 side.
The midfielder is understood to be under contract with the club until the summer.
Young Jr will be hoping he can follow in his dad’s footsteps who made his professional debut at the age of 18.
