Massive crowd gathering to meet him I see....
Im baffled in what Inter are seeing in signing players like Ashley Young. On the other hand i'm really admiring their drive and determination to go out and get their targets, despite who they are. No nonsense and pretty efficient.
Not that bothered about this but we should have sold players like Rojo, Jones and Lingard before Young. Hope he enjoys Seria A.
Conte will be a hero if he topples the Juve monopoly so he doesn't have to plan for the long term right now, he just needs instant success, and any player used to the pace of the PL will find it quite easy in Serie A.
Happy for young. Good luck to him. Been a servant here.
Right move by the club too. Clearing space for talent coming up. I like the direction we are on atm.

This is part of the process of rebuilding the squad, so no issues with him going while he could get that good deal.
Jones next please. Who am I kidding, he'll retire at United.
For such price it is a pretty good signing. Juve used to make these kind of signings a lot. Provide cover and the league, even while I believe it's a top league, but it is slower and with less intensity than PL. He will do pretty well for them for the 2 upcoming years I reckon.
Would we? He is 34, we are lucky to get anything for him.Just saw this. That fee
If it was the other way we’d be pay a ton.
Don't like the way he's refused to be the recent matchday squads and for that I really don't care if he does well over there or not.
Good exit. Could have moved him on a couple years ago and lost almost nothing.
We do need better quality, even if they're just subs.
Now I just want to see who we bring in

Strengthening our Europa league rivals is the only thing wrong with this transfer.
Got nothing against him, except I couldn't stand to watch him play football. Luckily, another set of fans will have the pleasure of enjoying the long balls down the line that goes out of play and the inevitable thumbs up from big Rom.
I agree. For all the talk about him being a servant blah blah blah reports were he stormed out of training in a fit to force deal through. Way to destroy your legacy at the end. Nonplussed and good riddance. It was time for him to go anyway.
Who knows if it's true. Lots of shit gets written. Especially about United as it's guarenteed clicks.
I hadn't seen those reports, shame if true.
Very very pleased to see the back of him though. Seemed a decent guy, model professional etc throughout his time with us, but was never good enough. Neither as a winger or a full back.
Nice to see us clearing out and (hopefully) rebuilding our squad for an exciting future this time around.
Sarcasm, surely?
Besides, if we sign Bruno, that would weaken another Europa League rival.
Inter shopping around this January (Young, Giroud, etc) reminds me buying players a la "Football Manager".
It be like:
Got to "Search player"-> filter -> exclude unrealistic transfers-> age 30+ -> contract expires in 6 months -> sort results by international caps -> start bidding

I am not being sarcastic. Europa league might be our only chance of playing in CL next season. Inter is perhaps the strongest team in the competition with probably the best manager. Making them even marginally stronger goes against our own interests.
Yes. Deadwood that needs rid of.
English players now at Inter, Roma, Atletico, Dortmund ... Didn't have that for a while. Nice to see.
Good thing he's gone but I feel we need more fullbacks, preferably one who can play left and right
In terms of the squad depth argument: Laird is an even bigger prospect than Williams in my opinion (I'm sure I'm not the only one) and elevating him to getting game time for the rest of the season could potentially see us with 2 young full backs coming through.
I'm basing this off of youth performance but Laird has maybe a little less grit than Brandon but a little more quality too. He has a real chance of making it if managed right.
Replacing Young with Laird won't matter too much to our season especially if Dalot stays fit (but even if he doesn't).

How much is the English player tax on this deal?
You know were are now destined to draw Inter in the Europa league and Young will have a blinder to knock us out
Maybe ‘refusing to play’ was a bit strong but it does seem he was acting up:

I can guarantee that if certain other players had acted like this they’d be getting heavily criticised by the media and fans but there hardly seems to have been a mention of this.
Probably because it's the Mirror....
Not heard this before. But if it is true it's a terrible attitude to have. Think we should have got rid of him before now but at least he gone now.
From what I've read his wages were £110,000 per week. So it's nice to get them off the books. Would be nice to get rid of Rojo and Jones as well.
Well people were ready to lynch Pogba over less...
Young smashes a pin point cross for Lukaku to bicycle kick it in. Sanchez celebrates from the stands. It's inevitable.
People are ready to lynch Pogba because he walks too fast, or walks too slow.... or walks.
You’re not wrong
Im just angered we never get to say thanks and goodbye to players like Young who gave it all for the club.
It just seems sad that we let a player who has been here for years to go without a proper send-off.

Hes 34, and will be on a major rapid decline sooner rather than later at his age. It was a no brainer to let him go but Sad to see him go. He gave it everything every match and was not a bad player at all.
Now just Lingard, Jones, Sanchez, Matic, Rojo at the end of the season and I'd be happy enough with a couple good signings.
I'd keep Mata, Andreas, Shaw etc. at least for another year.

We tend to overpay for players.
young, lukaku and sanchez probably
Well we didn't want him to go until summer and he has forced a move so Im not sure what you’re expecting
Oh absolutely. But Pogba is treated completely different to anyone else and then people vilify him for being different too
