Historic moment for Ashley and Tyler Young

If Tyler had played then, they would have been the first father and son to play against each other in the 154-year history of the FA Cup.

Now they can be part of the same team, as Tyler, 19, has signed a youth contract with Ipswich Town after a successful trial.

Ashley, former Manchester United and England international, joined the Tractor Boys this summer at the age of 40.

Football fans have already expressed excitement over the signing of his son. One wrote on X:

“Like father, like son.”

Another added:

“Hopefully, they get given a game together.”

There was also a comment:

“Finally get to play together professionally.”

One fan expressed:

“Would love to see them play in the same team together.”
