They were pulled apart by team-mates but the war of words continued — with Young clearly coming out on top.

As the two were walking away, eagle-eyed viewers caught the ex-Aston Villa man saying: “When you’ve won the Premier League, let me know.”

Ouch!

Young, 32, was a title-winner with United back in 2012-13, in Sir Alex Ferguson‘s final season as manager.

While, Alli, despite his incredible potential, has yet to win any kind of trophy, having already finished a runner up in each of the past three seasons.
