| Ashley Young will leave Manchester United this month |
Inter Milan have reached an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of
current club captain Ashley Young, Sky
Sports reports. The deal will be subject to the player clearing a
medical and is estimated to cost the Serie A side around £1.3m plus
add-ons. Young will be traveling to Milan to undergo medicals ahead of the move
by Friday or Saturday.
The
Englishman’s future had been making headlines since the start of the January
transfer window when Inter Milan’s
interest in the player was first revealed. Antonio
Conte has been desperate to add solidity to the left side of his backline
and had earmarked Young as the perfect candidate for the job. United’s
reluctance to do a deal had frustrated the Italian at the start of the month, however, things have fallen in place for the Englishman right now.
United offered Young a late one-year extension

| Ashey Young turned down United's offer to extend his contract |
Young had
entered the final six months of his contract with United and could have been
available for Inter Milan for free
by the end of the season. However, the Serie A giants wanted to secure his
signature in the winter, as Conte attempted to make necessary reinforcements to
his squad to try and wrestle away the Serie A title from Juventus.
Following
genuine interest from the Nerazzurri, Manchester
United attempted to keep the player at Old
Trafford by offering him a one-year extension. However, Young turned down
the offer, because he had decided that he wanted to leave Old Trafford in
search of regular football elsewhere.
The move
briefly came under the scanner after it was revealed that the Nerazzurri were
also monitoring AS Roma left-back Leonardo Spinazzola. However, it is now
believed that the swap deal for Spinazzola which would see striker Matteo Politano move to Roma will have
no implications on Young’s move to the San
Siro.
