Ashley Young appears solo in the latest Lucozade Sport advert (video) and “at least he didn’t dive”

It has been a big year for Ashley Young. First, he found himself being courted then signed by Manchester United, England’s champions and one of the biggest clubs in the world, and now he is recognised as one of the biggest stars in the world and is chasing a spot with the national team at the end of the domestic season.

Since his profile has jumped so much in the last 12 months, it is only right that Young is being championed by the biggest brands and that’s why he appears solo in the latest Lucozade Sport advert.

First aired during last week’s top-of-the-table derby match between Manchester United and their rivals Manchester City, the new Lucozade Sport advert features Young doing what he does best, running fast and scoring goals and is backed by the tagline, ‘Faster. Stronger.Longer’

The recent run of Lucozade Sport adverts feature a list of high-profile atheletes including Mo Farah, Phillips Idowu and Louis Smith all of whom are depicted participating in their various disciplines.

The idea behind the adverts is to capture the atheletes performing in their own environments – highlighting how rapid rehydration using Lucozade Sport can benefit an atheletes performance.
