Young close to United deal for estimated £15million

THE new era at Old Trafford stepped up a gear last night with Ashley Young set to become Manchester United’s second summer signing after undergoing a medical with the Premier League champions last night.

The England international was in Manchester yesterday to undergo a series of physical examinations prior to completing his transfer to Old Trafford for a reported £15million.

The 25-year-old Young has just a year left on his contract at Villa Park and made it clear to the club he had no intention of extending that deal.
