Manchester United<\/a> full-back Ashley Young<\/a> has agreed terms with Inter Milan<\/a> to join them when his contract expires, according to BBC Sport’s<\/a> Simon Stone. Young move to Italy at the end of the season, but a deal is still trying to be done to get the move through in this window.<\/p>\n

Ashley Young Will Join Inter Milan at the End of the Season<\/h2>\n

A Loyal Servant<\/h3>\n

Young Joined Manchester United<\/a> for \u00a316.2 million from Aston Villa<\/a> in the summer of 2011. His arrival at Old Trafford was part of United\u2019s spending of the money they received for selling<\/a> Christiano Ronaldo<\/a>. Although he arrived in Manchester as a winger, the later years of Ashley Young\u2019s career have seen him evolve into a full back. This is largely due to United\u2019s lack of depth and lots of injuries in that position under Louis Van Gaal.<\/p>\n

Lack of Game Time at Manchester United<\/h3>\n

Ashley Young struggles to get any game time at Manchester United. United\u2019s right-back position is firmly secured by Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a> and Luke Shaw<\/a> seems to have the left-back position in his grasp for now, however, youngster Brandon Williams<\/a> is looking to take that<\/a> from him. Despite a lack of depth, Young is seemingly deemed surplus to requirements by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a>. United have youngsters such as Timothy Fosu-Mensah<\/a>\u00a0and have the potential to grow to a far higher quality than Young<\/p>\n

Antonio Conte Likes Manchester United Players<\/h3>\n

Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte<\/a> has already snapped up two Manchester United players. In the summer of 2019, he signed Alexis Sanchez<\/a> and Romelu Lukaku<\/a> from the Red Devils. The Chilean winger was signed on a one-year loan deal<\/a>, while the former Everton<\/a> and Chelsea<\/a> striker Lukaku was signed permanently<\/a> for \u00a374 million. Ashley Young is his third signing from the Manchester side.<\/p>\n

Looking For Experience<\/h3>\n

Ashley Young will be the second oldest player in the Inter Milan squad<\/a> when he joins, second to goalkeeper Samir Handanovic<\/a>. The squad is fairly young, with Conte\u2019s Inter aiming to become the giants<\/a> of Italian football. Young will bring experience to the team, something which is certainly a useful asset to have.<\/p>\n
