Ashley Young: 'Manchester United players targeting Premier League title'

Ashley Young insists that Manchester United's players are still targeting the Premier League title.

Ashley Young has insisted that Manchester United are not out of the title race, despite being 13 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.

United manager Louis van Gaal has declared his intention to take the club back into the Champions League following a disappointing season under David Moyes, but Young claims that the players have not given up hope of being crowned champions.

"I think the manager has said obviously we want to break that top four," the winger told members of the media. "But you know players and staff at the club, we want to win the league title.

"I think [Van Gaal] has got that aura. You know he's got that presence out on the training ground and the training pitch. He believes in people, he gives you that belief, he's an honest man and he just wants everyone to go out there and do well.

"We're all pulling in the right direction, pulling in the same direction and everybody is leading that charge up the league."

United host Hull City at Old Trafford on Saturday.
