Talented winger Ashley Young has finally made the decision to switch from Aston Villa to domestic champions Manchester United after putting his signature on a contract worth around 17 million pounds for his former club. With Young signing a deal that will keep him at his new club until he's 30 years of age, the player should be able to give the Red Devils the benefit of the best years of his footballing career.
The transfer was confirmed following many months of speculation regarding the future of Young at Villa, with the winger deciding to stay at the club for a couple of years after he came to the forefront of the public imagination with a number of eye-catching performances on the wing. The player's sense of loyalty was shaken abruptly, however, when serious news of United's interest in him after four and a half years with Aston Villa was made public. It surely seems likely that not a single Villa fan will blame the winger for taking on a challenge that will allow him to turn out and compete for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
A man who knows the player very well on a personal and professional level, former Watford manager Aidy Boothroyd, has revealed that the Premier League champions will find a prize asset in the form of their new signing, who is thought to be always desperate to improve his game and understanding of his team mates wherever possible.
Meanwhile, for the Red Devils themselves, the arrival of Young is just one more sign that the club are trying to do all they can to add a couple of fresh faces to a squad that, although successful last season in terms of winning the league, found themselves accused a number of times of looking tired and jaded in a few positions. Young is the club's second signing of the current transfer window after former Blackburn defender Phil Jones was signed, and the new arrivals probably won't end there, with the United boss likely to appoint one or two others before the start of next season.
On Ferguson's list of potential signings sits Atletico Madrid's David de Gea, who many believe could represent the ideal replacement for the now retired Edwin van der Sar. However, the young goalkeeper is yet to agree anything with the club, so for now United fans simply need to feel content with regards to the incoming Young.
