Ashley Young is an attacking midfielder and winger of Manchester United F.C. He was born on 9 July 1985 in Stevenage, England.
Ashley began his youth career in the Watford academy, where he was a trainee and the youth team player.
In 2003 due to his successful performance and talent Ashley was offered to sign for the club. Young was glad to have the opportunity to play as a professional and he accepted the offer at once, signing a four-year contract. From the very first season, the club manager let Ashley make starts. During four years he became a regular who helped to bang in a number of important goals and to make his way through to the Premier League. Young made 98 appearances and scored 19 goals.
In 2007 there were serious changes in Ashley’s career. Aston Villa, the mid-class team of the Premier League, bought him for £9.75 million, which was the highest price in the history of the club. Young’s talent was really amazing and Martin O’Neill, the head coach, wanted to see the young footballer of such level in his squad. From 2007 till 2011 Ashley was the first team pivot. He took part in every match playing on the attack flanks for his club. During four years Ashley amassed 30 goals in 157 matches.
In 2011 Alex Ferguson expressed his intention to buy Ashley Young as the footballer was very talented and could diversify the attacking performance of the club. Manchester United paid £17 million for him and signed a long-term contract. From 2011, Young has been playing for The Red Devils.
From 2006 till 2007, Ashley took part in ten matches of the England national U-21 team and found the net one time. From 2007 Young has already made 30 appearances and fired seven goals for the Three Lions.
