Following his recent exploits for the Red Devils, Manchester United are set to trigger the one year extension in Ashley Young’s contract and keep the England international at Old Trafford until 2019.<\/p>\n
Young who was close to leaving Old Trafford last summer, has been so impressive this season that Gareth Southgate called him up to the England national team after a four year absence.<\/p>\n
Young is believed to have turned down an approach from Chineese Super League side\u00a0Shandong Luneng, an offer that was reportedly worth 12 million GBP per season.<\/p>\n
His current 120,000 GBP per week deal with the Red Devils expires next summer, and he looked set to leave for free, however his current form has made the club prepare to extend his stay.<\/p>\n
He scored twice in his last game against Watford, and gave an all-round performance that showed just why he has been preferred to Matteo Darmian, Luke Shaw and Daley Blind at left back.<\/p>\n
Young’s representatives are believed to have contacted United to ask for more than a year’s deal, however, with the winger already 32 it is unlikely that United will want to offer him more than a year’s extension.<\/p>\n
