LEWIS YOUNG wants to carry on the family legacy for Dagenham and Redbridge, who travel to Millwall on Monday.
The National League side’s caretaker boss, 35, is younger brother of 39-year-old Manchester United great and current Everton full-back, Ashley.

And he was there on Thursday when Everton beat Peterborough, who had Ashley’s son Tyler, 18, on the bench.
The Daggers have already KO’d Crewe and Wimbledon in the Cup and Lewis wants his name up in lights, too.
And Young – a fan of the Red Devils – aims to add his own name to his family achievements.
He said “It was fantastic going up to Goodison, to be there was a dream for me and the whole family were dotted around.
“We nearly made it a sell-out because of the amount of us that went up.
“We’ve had some fantastic memories from football, as a family.
“I was at the FA Cup semi-final and final last year with my son, and we’re Manchester United fans so to celebrate that together was brilliant.
“Looking back further seeing Ashley winning it and back in the day celebrating around the house like Ryan Giggs, it has really lovely memories – but I’m trying to create my own with Dagenham.”

Young took over on Boxing Day after previous boss Ben Strevens left the club, and was quick to praise the former Daggers chief.
He added “I thought Ben was fantastic for us, and he’s a long-term friend.
“We had an evening at Crystal Maze in Leicester Square, and he was the one changing what we did during the week into the FA Cup game.”
