Ashley Young wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and Twitter just takes the p*ss

Nooruddean Choudry

Poor Ashley Young.

The Manchester United winger-come-wingback decided to take to Twitter on Christmas Day to wish everyone a very merry festive day. Surely he’d be greeted with similar salutations of the season? Wrong.

In fairness, the 30-year-old kind of preempted some p*sstaking by making reference to his rather colourful blouse shirt. But that didn’t stop followers making mirth about…well, just about everything.

People criticised his tree…
