That sound you hear is Manchester United fans everywhere exhaling in unison.

The Red Devils escaped, in every sense of the word, with a 2-1 victory over Stoke City on Tuesday thanks to some late heroics from David De Gea and Ashley Young.

The Spaniard was first to come to the fore, making a wonderful save off a header from Mame Biram Diouf late in the contest:
