Former Man United Star Ashley Young Set to Face 18-year-old Son, Tyler in FA Cup 3rd Round

Former Manchester United star Ashley Young is set to face his 18-year-old son, Tyler, in the upcoming FA Cup third round.

This unique father-son encounter will take place when Everton, where Ashley currently plays as a defender, hosts Peterborough United, Tyler's team, at Goodison Park in January 2025.

Ashley Young, now 39, has had an illustrious career with 724 appearances for top clubs including Watford, Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Inter Milan.

Reflecting on this potential family showdown, Young expressed his excitement on social media, stating, "Dreams might come true."

The match not only marks a milestone for the Young family but also draws parallels to the historic NBA game where LeBron James played alongside his son Bronny.

The FA Cup third round, scheduled for the weekend of January 11-12, 2025, will see 44 teams from the Premier League and Championship join 20 lower-league and non-league sides.
