Currently in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, the former Watford and Aston Villa trickster took time to credit his team-mates, when speaking to the club's official website.
Winning two penalties in his side's last two home games, Young has been criticised for going to ground too easily in a bid to con the referee.
What has developed is a reopening of the 'diving' debate, with pundits, managers and even fellow professionals having their say.
"I don't think there's been a better winger this season. He's like a steam train when he's running at defenders. He's so strong and his delivery is brilliant," said the England international.
"When you've got Giggsy, Antonio, Nani and Ji around you know you need to be on your toes, training well and, when you get your chance, delivering for the team."
Moreover, in the Hertfordshire-born winger's first season challenging for major silverware, Young rates the presence of many experienced campaigners in the United dressing room as a key factor which has seen them leapfrog Manchester City in recent months and march towards a record-breaking 20th league title.
"Having players like Giggsy, Scholesy [Paul Scholes], Rio [Ferdinand], [Michael] Carrick and [Patrice] Evra has been vitally important, especially for the younger ones," said Young.
After being left out of Fabio Capello's 2010 World Cup squad, he will hope to be a prominent figure in England's major tournament campaign this summer in Poland and Ukraine.
