Young completes Man Utd move

[Toronto Villa]

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

He'll be playing with better players where he won't be asked to be everything to the team as he often was with us. He'll be more disciplined on the pitch because he'll want to keep his starting place up there. On the "is he good enough?" question, is John O'Shea or Carrick, or Nani or Valencia good enough? As wingers, I'd put Ash above the latter two for sure. They play as a unit of very good players, with one or two real superstars. Very much good enough for England, and as shown vs Barcelona not enough superstars to be the best in Europe. But I do think he's good enough for them.

I'm a little alarmed at how many people are "pleased" to see him go to play for that bunch of c***.

I'll clarify my thoughts, for what it's worth. I'm not pleased to see him go as in 'great, he's off - good riddance' like some; but I'm happier he's genuinely leaving us to take a step up - to the current champions and the best club in the country over the last 15 years - rather than giving it a load of flannel about wanting a bigger challenge and then sloping off to Spurs, or City. Or f**** Liverpool.

I wish him the very best and think he will be a huge success for United and England next season.

He was the most exciting player at Villa since Yorke and I'll always hold him in high regard.

Pretty obvious he was tapped up earlier in the season and his attitude at times wasnt great. But down the final stretch he came up with critical goals and assists that helped us stay up too.

He is in need of the move, needs a new environment. Sad that Villa cant provide that to someone like Young at this stage of his career but he goes with all my best wishes anyway.

I hope he doesn't come to terrorise us next season.
All the best Ash!  Lets just hope you keep the bench warm

fuck me, why? He's always given his all to us, yet you've posted a few times so far nothing but ill will against him. I really don't get some people. If he'd been a prick, and there's lots of players that have passed through the club you could pick out, then fair enough. He worked his bollocks off for the club every single game. We put him on a pedestal because of what he'd done and what we knew he was capable of which ultimately frustrated us at times. But he was always dedicated and has never, ever had a bad word to say about the club or the fans.

Every day on here gives birth to another whining, miseryarse. Makes my piss boil.

He is going to have to learn another trick quickly - oh and get used to being one of the squad not the guy who take the kick off the corners the free kicks the throw ins and plays where he wants to ...

Haven't seen any confirmation of what the actual fee is.
