No hassle, no fuss. That's the best way to describe the capture of Ashley Young from Villa, it appears to have been contact was made between the two clubs and Ashley agent. A price and the move was agreed before the news broke. All there was to do was allow Young to finish his holiday, there never seemed to be any panic or noise about the transfer until he had. Then he returned to completed his medical on the 22nd of June and the transfer was officially announced the next day.
As with Phil Jones, I am glad to have grabbed another English player and at 26, Ashley is only coming into his prime. He is a player that I see as made for United, a proper winger who can run all day. Like Antonio Valencia, who came from a smaller team and never flinched as he stepped onto the right-hand side of the turf at Old Trafford, I can see Ashley having a similar effect on the left. He can beat men, cross the ball and shoot.
He was impressive at Villa over the past few years and that was with a struggling team, when given the opportunity and freedom now to show what he can do, I hope he can step up to the challenge. He has all the tools to be successful and can give United that same steady influence on the left wing as Valencia gives on the right.
Just one piece of advice for Ashley. No snoods at OT.
