Inter announce signing of Young from Manchester United

Inter have confirmed the arrival of Ashley Young from Manchester United. 

The 34-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Serie A powerhouse for some time and while United had considered offering Young a new contract, on Friday night Inter confirmed his arrival. 

"Ashley Young is officially an Inter player. The 34-year-old English defender arrives from Manchester United and has signed a contract lasting until 30 June 2020 with an option to extend for a further season," a statement read on the official Inter website. 

"As a speedy and skilful winger, he’s good at crossing and can beat a man. However, as he’s matured, so has his game, as he’s become increasingly defensive.  

"An example of this has been his time spent at wing-back in a five-man midfield – a role embraced to such an extent that he was named as the best left-back at the 2018 World Cup." 

Young isn't the only player Inter are hoping to bring over to Italy from the Premier League this month.

The Italian outfit are looking at signing Olivier Giroud and Christian Eriksen from Chelsea and Tottenham, respectively, as they maintain their title push.
