Ashley Young, a legend at Manchester United, and Tyler Young, his son, are set to become the first father-son team in Championship history. When Tyler and his teammates faced Premier League side Everton in the FA Cup last season, Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson prevented the two from meeting for the first time. They would have become the first father-son team to compete against one another in the FA Cup's 154-year history if Tyler took the field while his father was playing. But now, the midfielder has now joined his dad at Portman Road after the 40-year-old signed for the Championship club in July. It follows previous spells in the academies of Arsenal, MK Dons and QPR prior to signing for Peterborough in August 2024. He went on to make one senior appearance in the EFL Trophy as well as featuring on the bench in League One as well as both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. His appearance on the bench in the FA Cup third round in January made headlines as Posh faced Everton at Goodison Park. Young Sr. was on the Toffees bench, so Young Jr. could have faced his Premier League-winning father on the field. However, despite trading light-hearted trash talk in the build-up to the match, the Youngs were denied the chance to make history.
