Ex-Man Utd star Ashley Young could face his SON in FA Cup third round as Everton ace says ‘dreams might come true’
EVERTON star Ashley Young may face his 18-year-old son Tyler in the FA Cup.
The Toffees drew Peterborough United in the third round and will face off on the weekend of January 11 at Goodison Park.
That means ex-Manchester United ace Ashley, 39, could lock horns against his child, who is currently part of the League One outfit’s Under-21 side.
Everton‘s versatile full-back is very excited about that prospect as he took to social media and stated a great family dream could soon come true.
Ashley tweeted: “WOW………. Dreams Might Come True.#FaCup #GoosebumpsMoment #YoungVsYoung.”
Fans are also looking forward to that potential clash between father and son.
One supporter tweeted: “Hoping you play against him mate! Would be a dream for you! Wish you the best!”
Another commented: “The Young Derby.”
A third wrote: “Football is really special. What a scene that’d be!”
This fan said: “That’s brilliant. Hope it happens for you both.”
And that one issued the following hashtag: “#YoungvsOld.”
Tyler joined Peterborough from Queens Park Rangers’ Under-18s last summer.
The midfielder counts only one senior appearance with the Posh, which took place in the EFL Trophy.
