Young’s son makes professional debut as his father continues Premier League career

Former Manchester United defender Ashley Young has been in football long enough to see his children reach an age where they’re now making their own professional debuts.

Details: Young's 18-year-old son, Tyler, debuted for Peterborough United, currently competing in England’s League One, during an EFL Trophy match against Stevenage. The game ended with a 2-0 victory for the hosts, with Young Jr. playing 28 minutes.

Reminder: Tyler’s father, Ashley, will turn 40 next July. Despite being in what many would consider an advanced age for a footballer, he continues to perform at a high level in the Premier League, representing Everton.

The 39-year-old former Manchester United player is a mainstay for Sean Dyche’s squad, missing just two of Everton’s seven matches this season, one due to suspension.
