Craig HillAshley Young £15m move to Manchester United
June 23rd 2011 13:38
Manchester United were delighted to confirm, today, that the Aston Villa winger, Ashley Young, completed his move to Old Trafford, signing a five-year contract.
A club statement read: "Manchester United is delighted to announce it has reached agreement with Aston Villa for the transfer of Ashley Young. The player passed a medical in Manchester this week and has agreed a five-year contract."
A short while after the season ended, Ashley spoke with the Villa board to inform them of his intention to play Champions League football. Having made 15 appearances for England, I feel he now realises his potential, and sought bigger challenges.
Young, 25, had just one year left on his deal at Villa Park and with the new Aston Villa (and former Birmingham) manager, Alex McLeish, resigned to losing Young, the deal has now been completed.
He joins Blackburn's England Under-21 defender Phil Jones who moved to Old Trafford for between £16.5m and £20.5m earlier this month and with Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David de Gea likely to move to Manchester before the new season, United have really begun to signal their intent for 2011-12.
