Young praises Stuart Pearce

Manchester United winger Ashley Young believes that Stuart Pearce "did well" in his first match as England interim coach, despite suffering defeat at Wembley.

The Three Lions Under-21s coach took charge of the senior squad for the first time since being appointed temporary manager, but failed to clinch a win as England lost 3-2 to the Netherlands.

"We don't know who's going to be the manager but Stuart Pearce was manager for this game and I think he did well," BBC Sport quotes Young as saying.

Pearce revealed after the game that he is not interested in taking the England role on a long-term basis.
