Young completes Man Utd move

[TaxDodger]

Good luck to him. When he's at his best he is the best player I've seen in my 15 years watching Villa and I think he'll go on to do very well at Manchester United. I'm pleased he's signed for the best and not Man City/Spurs/Liverpool. We really are starting to see huge holes appearing in our squad though. The new manqger has an enormous rebuilding task on his hands, we really can't afford to sell Downing now.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yep, diver he may be, but he always tried hard and was a good player for us.

Can see why he wants to play for Manky Scum.

[olaftab]

I hope his career nose dives likes Milner's.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Though not as good as Dwight Yorke, he's going to a club that will win things we no longer even dream about. Good luck to him. He always tried his best with us (one of his plus points) and played very well for us. There's not been many players we've had in the past where they pick up the ball and you expect something good to come of it.

As a club who will never win the league, I think it's nice to see a good player develop into a player capable of playing for a team like Man Utd and move onto greater things.

However, his first dive back at Villa Park will not be met graciously. Much like when he did it for us!

We'll miss him, but as with any player who leaves the club, I hope he fails.

[PaulWinch again]

I don't begrudge him going to Man Utd to be honest, he's put in a decent amount of service to Villa. As long as we got a good fee I'm ok with it.

[Oscar Arce]

Good riddance from me, sick of his diving all over the place.

[MoetVillan]

Ill miss him.  Class, pace, skill, and want-to-win at all costs.  Usually the sort of traits you complain about a footballer not having, and he had it all.  The first player I can think of that I dont automatically detest for playing for that bunch of scum, including Yorke.  And in better news at least that moaning twat that sits infront of me will have to find someone else to bitch about. 

[andyh]

Its almost like he's going to slip away unoticed with all the manager shenanigens going on. 

[mattjpa]

Fair play ash. Always gave us everything, gave us some amazing moments like everton away and thouroughly deserves his chance. I think a few people in here need to remember how short the career of a footballer is....I'm villa till I die and would do exactly the same thing. Genuinely wish him all the best, hope he wins the trophies he seeks and more than anything I hope he gets a good reception when he comes back....

[Outcast2006]

Its almost like he's going to slip away unoticed with all the manager shenanigens going on. 

What a day to bury bad news.

[holtepaul]

He's a young, rich footballer with a WAG

If he is thinking of anything other than what he will do to his new missus tomorrow night - he needs shooting !

[TheSandman]

All the best Ash. Unless you are playing against us.

I reckon I'm going to hate him before long, mind.

[ktvillan]

We will miss him because at his best he is very good, capable of some killer balls,  but I can;t say I'm devastated as he frustrates the hell out of me with his diving, whining and wasting of good possession and dead balls.  If Fergie can get him to choose the right option more often and increase his consistency he'll be a very good player.

[jonzy85]

Despite him being one of our best players over the last few years, never really warmed to him.

I think he will do o.k. at Man Utd, no more than that. His problem is consistency and that was in a team where he was playing 90 mins week in, week out. How is he going to discover that only playing 50 % of games or so?

Definitely not going to be the difference if Fergie is seriously hoping to bridge the gap between them and Barca.
