Manchester United news: Ashley Young reveals he had his FA Cup medal pinched by Marcos Rojo after Crystal Palace triumph
Young came on as a second-half substitute at Wembley in May as Jesse Lingard clinched silverware with extra-time winner
ASHLEY YOUNG had his FA Cup winner's medal pinched - by team-mate Marcos Rojo.
The winger had nipped off for a routine drugs test following Manchester United's triumph over Crystal Palace in May.
And he was left stunned when he returned to the dressing room to find his gong had gone.
Winger Young - who is set to leave the club this month - was a 72nd-minute introduction from former boss Louis van Gaal during the Wembley showpiece.
He went on to help his team clinch the trophy for the first time in 12 years, thanks to Jesse Lingard's extra-time winner.
Young, 31, explained: "I’d gone off and done a drugs test and came back in and it had disappeared.
"I remember that Marcos Rojo had been sitting close to me but at the time I didn't realise where the medal had gone.
"Is it underneath? Is it above? Is it in the kit? Couldn’t find it.
"I think I was still on a high and I thought, 'It’s all right. It’ll turn up'. I was thinking 'Oh, it’ll turn up'.
"But when we got on the bus – still no medal.
"So I was going round all the other guys, saying, 'Look, can you just see if you’ve got an extra medal? There must be one extra one, as I’m missing mine'."
Argentina international left-back Rojo turned out to be the villain.
Young added: "We’d literally just got out of the stadium when I heard a voice from the back, 'I’ve got two medals here'. It was Marcos Rojo.
"He’d picked up mine, put it away in one of his kit bags, then put his own one away in his washbag as well.
"I’m very grateful Marcos decided to find my medal for me. It’s back in my possession, in my house, so I’m more than happy."
