We want to be fighting on all fronts."We have the summer now to look forward and come back and prepare in pre-season. We wanted to win things, win titles, but it wasn’t meant to be.  "We finished second with the points we did; in a different season we would have won the league, but it wasn’t meant to be and today is a disappointing one. It will take a while to settle in and we now have the summer to prepare for next season."United’s season end on a low note at Wembley on Saturday, with a first-half penalty from Eden Hazard – following a clumsy challenge from Phil Jones – edging them out in the FA Cup final. Young said of that contest: "It’s disappointing starting the game like we did and coming away with nothing. You can see how the players reacted after the game; we didn’t feel like we should have lost the game today."We didn’t have clear-cut chances, but on a different day there were chances we could have taken and we could have gone on and won the game. "In the second half they were on the back foot, it was all us, but we couldn’t get the goal and we are disappointed with that."While domestic endeavours have now come to a close for those at Old Trafford, many members of Mourinho’s squad are about to switch their focus to international matters at World Cup 2018. Young forms part of that group, with the 32-year-old back in favour with England after reinventing himself in a left-back berth.He added on the challenges to come in Russia this summer: "There is excitement that is to come, but right now I am disappointed and it's going to be hard to shake off."</blockquote>
