MU has many opportunities to own Ashley Young at a cheap price

Ashley Young seemed to have been out of MU's reach for a long time, but the Red Devils have the chance to bring the English winger to Old Trafford this summer.

Ashley Young's value will also be much cheaper than expected. At the beginning of the season, Aston Villa, the owner of the 25-year-old midfielder, had asked for £25 million when MU and some other clubs were "close" to Ashley Young. But now his price is only around £10 million because his contract will expire at the end of next season, forcing the Central team to lower the selling price if they do not want to lose one of their most important players for free.

Ashley Young wants a move to Manchester United.

Aston Villa have opened talks with Ashley Young over a new contract, a four-year deal worth £70,000 a week has been offered but the player has rejected it, with no intention of staying at a club that has failed to qualify for Europe since the departure of Martin O'Neill.

Young has been a long-term target for Sir Alex Ferguson and is seen as a possible successor to veteran Ryan Giggs and according to the Daily Mail, the 25-year-old midfielder has told some of his Villa teammates that his dream is to play for Manchester United.

Therefore, the scenario that fans can easily imagine is that Ashley Young will move to Manchester United, as he wished in the summer of 2011.

On the MU side, after two consecutive defeats against Chelsea and Liverpool, coach Alex Ferguson realized the lack of depth in his squad. With the latest injury of Luis Nani, the Red Devils only have one reliable winger left, Ryan Giggs, while Antonio Valencia has recovered from injury but needs time to regain his form after many months of not playing.

Gabriel Obertan and Bebe are wingers, but both young players have yet to prove their quality. In addition, Darron Gibson, Michael Carrick and Jonny Evans have all been disappointing this season, forcing Sir Alex to strengthen his squad.

In addition to Ashley Young, the 69-year-old strategist is also targeting Jack Rodwell (Everton), the duo Luka Modric - Gareth Bale (Tottenham), midfielder Jordan Henderson (Sunderland) and a top-class goalkeeper to replace Edwin van der Sar, ideally Manuel Neuer (Schalke) or Julio Cesar (Inter Milan).

Ferguson likes the style of youngster Rodwell, who can play as a centre-back or defensive midfielder, while Henderson is an ideal replacement for Carrick at Old Trafford, although the 20-year-old Englishman has insisted he wants to stay at Sunderland. Bale and Modric are expected to be the “successors” to Giggs and Scholes, although the veteran duo have either signed or will sign one-year contracts.

In addition, both Owens will be released this summer. Owen Hargreaves may have to accept retirement after failing to get his knees to obey him. Likewise Michael Owen, who has also struggled with various injuries.
