Ashley Young Set To Face His 18-Year-Old Son, Tyler Young In FA Cup 3rd Round

Everton and England defender, Ashley Young could face his 18-year-old son, Tyler Young, in an exciting FA Cup third-round match when his team meets Peterborough United.

Peterborough will travel to Goodison Park next month, and Ashley is eager to watch his son, who made his senior debut for the League One club earlier this season, in action.

“Wow… Dreams might come true. #FAcup #GoosebumpsMoment #YoungVsYoung,” Ashley Young posted on social media.

At 39, Ashley Young has had an impressive career, with 724 appearances for top clubs like Everton, Watford, Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Inter Milan.

Tyler Young joined Peterborough United from Queens Park Rangers’ Under-18s last summer. The midfielder has made just one senior appearance for the Posh, which came in the EFL Trophy.

This father-son situation mirrors the story of LeBron James and his son Bronny, who became the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA regular-season game for the Los Angeles Lakers in October.

The FA Cup third round will take place around the weekend of January 11-12, with 44 teams from the Premier League and Championship joining the 20 lower-league and non-league clubs that advanced from the previous round.

Meanwhile, a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test has revealed that Brazilian and Real Madrid football star, Vinícius Jr. has ancestral ties to Cameroon, specifically the Tikar tribe.
