Wideman Ashley Young says that he is happy to be regarded as a versatile player, having returned to the England squad on the back of his performances for Manchester United.

Ashley Young has acknowledged that he is happy to be regarded as a "versatile player" for both Manchester United and England.

Since the arrival of Jose Mourinho, Young has established himself as a key member of the United squad, with the wideman being used at full-back for the majority of this season.

Young's performances have resulted in a recall to the Three Lions squad, and he has suggested that he had few issues with adapting to his new position.

The 32-year-old told Sky Sports News: "It's winger to wing-back to full-back now. It's one of those things, nowadays you get players that are versatile and I feel like I am one of them.

"I think if you've got a good football brain, then you are able to adapt. I think I've shown that this season and whenever the manager calls upon me, I go out and give 100%."

Young made his first international appearance in four years when England played out a goalless draw with Brazil in November.
