Ashley Young, a former Manchester United player, has expressed his respects following the Ferguson family’s tragic announcement of Lady Cathy Ferguson’s departure on Friday afternoon.
Following the revelation of Lady Cathy Ferguson’s demise on Friday afternoon, former Manchester United captain Ashley Young paid tribute to her.
On Saturday afternoon, Old Trafford’s flags were flown at half-mast as United paid their respects to Lady Cathy. Before the match with Brentford, United players wearing black armbands were applauded.
In their final Premier League matchup before the break, Everton played Bournemouth a little more than 30 miles from Old Trafford. Young, a former United captain, played the entire 90 minutes for the Toffees and, like his teammates, he donned a black armband in memory of the wife of his former manager.

After Everton defeated Bournemouth 3-0, Young posted on Twitter, saying: “Black armband worn for Lady Cathy, thinking of you Boss. RIP.” Within an hour of being posted, the social media post had received more than 10,000 “likes,” with hundreds of United supporters expressing their appreciation for the thoughtful gesture.
Young joined the Reds in 2011 after being acquired by Sir Alex from Aston Villa, and he went on to play over 250 Premier League appearances. After being named the team’s captain in August 2019, he left for Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan six months later.
The Everton fullback was a member of the United team that last won the Premier League championship under Sir Alex in 2013. During his eight and a half years at Old Trafford, he also won the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the Europa League.
