Ashley Young confident Manchester United can recover from blip against Bournemouth

Ashley Young is confident Manchester Uniteds defeat by Bournemouth was a blip and has no doubt they are heading in the right direction.United had appeared to have turned a corner with a run of three straight victories only to fall to a 1-0 defeat on the south coast on Saturday, leaving them 10th in the Premier League.But Young was bullish ahead of Uniteds Europa League clash with Partizan Belgrade at Old Trafford on Thursday, where victory would send them through to the knockout stages."The boys have been working as hard as possible on the training pitch to get results," @Youngy18 says."Obviously things haven't gone as well as we'd like but we've got winnable games coming up." #MUFC #UEL pic.twitter.com/s0SP60Agae Manchester United (@ManUtd) November 6, 2019Iknow what I see day in, day out at training, he said.The boys have been working as hard as possible to go out and get results. Obviously things havent gone as well as wed have liked. But thats not going to dampen our spirits.Weve got a good game to go and qualify out of the group stages and weve got games coming up that we believe are winnable games so I think from tomorrows game we go on another run and keep putting points on the board.United will be without defender Victor Lindelof, who played at Bournemouth having been a doubt for the game but is now sidelined once more.The boss revealed @VLindelof will miss tomorrow's #UEL match through injury, and provided updates on four other Reds#MUFC Manchester United (@ManUtd) November 6, 2019Left-back Luke Shaw, who has been out with a hamstring injury since August, was back on the grass but training away from the squad, whileEric Bailly, Diogo Dalot, Angel Gomes, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba and Axel Tuanzebe all remain absent.Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will again use Europe as a chance to give more of his young players an opportunity, andMatej Kovar and Ethan Laird could both be included in the squad.Winning the Europa League, as United did two years ago, offers a route into the Champions League, but Solskjaer is not giving up on the Premier League top four despite their poor start. He said: Its one route. Youre not going to talk about the end league table in November. I dont think anyone can predict that already. We havent got as many points as wed like but well challenge to get to the top four.The United boss, meanwhile, is not planning a spending spree in January to try to boost results.He said: (With) transfers we always look at the long term. It might be none, might be one, might be two. But its always the summer window thats the big one. You cant do too many good deals in January.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
