Ashley Young now looks very likely to complete his eagerly-anticipated move to Manchester United within the next one week or so.
Reports emerged on Friday that Ashley Young is edging closer towards his dream move to Old Trafford. The winger is about to get married this weekend and speculation suggests that Young's deal could be done and dusted once he arrives back from holidays.
The fee is reported to be at £16 million and even Steve Bruce claims that he is definitely worth the price as far as Manchester United are concerned.
''Ashley Young is a terrific signing for Sir Alex. There are not too many naturally good wide players these days, and Young is one of the best, so he will naturally enhance the United team.
"But the fact that United are willing to spend big money, at record levels in one go for the club, shows what Manchester United are all about, they are continually evolving.
"They have lost Paul Scoles, and know Ryan Giggs cannot go on forever, but they never stand still, and the way Sir Alex is going about his business at the moment show that he means business. Once again Manchester United will be the benchmark for the new season. Can anyone catch them... well, I would doubt it."
Young was in terrific form for both club and country last season, notching up seven goals in 34 games for Villa and two goals in eight matches for the Three Lions.
