I think he'll flourish at United, personally. As for being a regular starter, Ferguson tends to start his first choice back five most games, rotate and refresh his midfield and strikers almost every other game. I think Young will get a lot of game time.

I don't blame him for going and feel we have had the best out of him.  I can't see either how he is going to improve the Man U team as I think Nani is equally as good if not better going forward maybe Young's overall game is better in terms of work rate.  It will be interesting to see how many goals he chips in with as I can't see him getting any set pieces after the first few land in ZZ.

I can see why the mancs have gone for him. He'll add some depth to their squad and maybe Ferguson figures he can improve his end product. Also at 17m its a comparitely cheap option compared to the barmy prices for the likes of Henderson

I'm not going to wish him luck, purely on the basis that I don't want any of our opponents to have luck.

The only comfort I take from his departure is that he takes his petulance and diving with him. When we are so viciferous in our criticism of others it was particularly unpleasant to see one of our own indulge in such antics.

When Yorke left I was convinced that he would continue to be a success, I'm not so sure with Young.

Undoubtably a very good and exciting player when he wanted to be

UInfortunately he became a parody of himself - the effort never waned but the melodramatics afetr every single falling over became a pain in the arse

pity its to "them" but in fairness to him he will end up with more throphies in the cabinet than any other team soon.

Makes me wish that we never get another player playing for England though - everyone we seem to get ends up leaving  :-[

Nani? Seriously? He's terrible most of the time. He wont be at Man Ure next year.

I hope he's absolute shite for them and they drop into the relegation zone and stay there for ever and ever.

Good player but they come and go.

I have my doubts if he will be consistent enough to play week in week out for them, tbh I didn't think he deserved to wear our shirt for about half of the games he played last season as at time he was useless although maybe we didn't have a lot of options to make a difference if he hadn't of played.

I wish in ill though, good luck Ashley Young you will need it.

Gutted to see him go. I fear we will miss him a lot more than we realise.

Good return on him though, 7.5m profit (less Watfords share) and 4 and a half solid years

Hope he does well, for England more so than United, but I suspect to get my wish He will need to be! Hope he doesnt get stick when he returns, after all, he gave us much more time than Milner.

As previously posted I'm sorry to see him go. Also he hasn't badmouthed us and hopfully won't so fair play to him for treating us with a bit of respect in that regard. I'm a little alarmed at how many people are "pleased" to see him go to play for that bunch of c***. presided over by the biggest c*** going. I hope they lose every single one of their matches next season and Ashley breaks Fergie's nose with a misdirected free kick.

Sad to see him go, but he's really not good enough for Man Utd.

Agreed.

However, since we're not really in competition with Man Utd, its better that he's gone there. It would have been far worse if he'd have gone to Liverpool or Spurs, because those are two clubs that we are in competition with (hopefully)
