Manchester United captain Ashley Young has signed a one year extension on his contract. The new deal will see the former Aston Villa winger spend another year at the club and now end his contract in 2020.
The club announced on their website, “Manchester United is pleased to announce that Ashley Young has signed a one-year contract extension with the club. The deal will keep our no.18 at Old Trafford until the end of the 2019/20 season.”
Young joined United under the Fergie reign almost a decade back and was then a red hot England international winger. He was part of a couple of famous title winning teams under Fergie.
However, over the years, as his pace waned down, he adapted his game to stay a part of the side. Over the last two years, under pragmatic boss Jose Mourinho, Young has been forced to play in full back position both on the left and the right flank.
He did a tremendous job of covering for his team and his now seen as a defender rather than a winger in the team. Such has been his impact and influence on the team, he has now been given a year’s extension on contract.
