Manchester United winger Ashley Young has warned his team to expect stiff competition from Watford this weekend.
The Premier League new boys have had a solid start to their campaign in the top tier thus far and are now placed eleventh in the league table with 16 points from 12 matches, just one point adrift of tenth placed Liverpool.
Speaking about Quique Sanchez Flores's team, the 30-year-old said that the Hornets have surprised everyone by the way they have played.
According to Young, Watford are a team that work hard, get players on the ball and manage to score goals.
"It won’t be an easy match", Young said in an interview with his club's official website.

"A lot of people wrote them off at the start of the season, but they’re a team that works hard and gets players on the ball, and they score goals.
"They’ve been in good form recently, but hopefully we can go there and get the three points."
Young, who came up through Watford's youth academy, making his first team debut for them in 2003 and staying there until 2007 before moving to Aston Villa, also shared his feelings about returning back to his former home ground.
"I’m really looking forward to going back.
"It’s the club where I started and learnt my trade and, hopefully, it’ll be a nice reception… a better one than I get at Aston Villa anyway!" Young added.
