This is going to bring up Utd's spending close to 60m (along with De Gae they will inevitably get)...and they still need a CM. Or is Young going to used as a CAM?

probably no one, he is most likely there to add depth.

Get ready folks, Young's about to go from being a decent, reliable winger to the best winger in the world, and maybe the best winger in the history of teh footballz

Hahahahaha, as a chelsea fan, I am not worried at all by this move. Have fun united, this guy is one of the most overrated players in england.

Man united will be a stronger team, but I wont go as far saying he will become the best winger.

ashley young play on the left wing and valencia plays on the right... then what about nani?

by Sushi Master Thu 23 Jun 2011 - 0:29

It's called rotation. Scholes is gone and Giggs is too buzy getting his dick wet. Nice move by ManU.

Good winger who can potentially become World Class with a great team like United. Offers us depth + can play just behind the striker. Offers us good options up front.

I'm happy with this signing.

Nani will be doing the bench press during the game time Very Happy

Well he can play on any wing, AM and SS. He will probably rotate with Valencia, Nani and Hernandez.

by Clownbaby Thu 23 Jun 2011 - 2:30

they'll sell nani if they buy young imo

woeful decision

by Art Morte Thu 23 Jun 2011 - 6:50

A good buy by United, they are spending seriously this summer.
I guess the good news is that they still haven't bought a CM.
And that with this buy they reinforced an area which was already strong for them.

by Guest Thu 23 Jun 2011 - 7:44

He'll do well for them unfortunately

by BeautifulGame Thu 23 Jun 2011 - 7:45

Good buy for United.Young isnt overrated at all.Maybe stagnated a bit this season at Villa but is still class.One of the best wingers in the league and certainly better than the likes of Bale and Adam Johnson.

As long as he isnt bought to play at AM he is quality.He sucks at AM though and dives all over the place.

why does everyone seem to think we will sell Nani?...he just came off the best season of his career and is only 24

and have you all forgotten who are Manager is? Maybe the best man manager in the world...keeps everyone happy in there roles, if anyone is sold it will likely be Park....SAF is doing the same thing he did on the defense with the signing of Jones, adding depth

GK:De Gea, Lindegaard
CB: Ferdinand, Vidic, Jones, Smalling, Evans
Wings: Valencia, Nani, Young, Park
Strikers: Rooney, Hernandez, Berbatov, Welbeck, Owen
Midfield: Giggs, Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson, Cleverly
RB/LB : Evra, Rafael, Fabio

squad rotation, it's what keeps you fresh down the stretch
