Ashley Young provides update on Manchester United future amid reports of extending contract until 2019
United have the option of extending Young's contract by a year.
Manchester United star Ashley Young has admitted that he is yet to commit his future at Old Trafford.
The England international's current deal with the Red Devils will run down after the end of the 2017/18 season. The 20-time English champions have an option of extending it until 2019.
According to the Daily Mail, Young is currently on a £130,000-a-week ($173,974 per week) at United. His employers will trigger the option of extending his contract by a year after he impressed for Jose Mourinho's side this term.
The Mirror reported the former Aston Villa man is targeting a long-term stay at United. The report also claims that Young has set his sights on ending his club career at Old Trafford. However, he has admitted that his immediate focus will be on concentrating on "things on the pitch".
"I'm just concentrating on things on the pitch, that's all I can do. Go out there and play well and see what happens," Young told BT Sport, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News.
Young has been the first choice player in the left-back position, ahead of Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian. The 32-year-old has been used as right-back, left-back, wing-back and also on the wings by Mourinho. He has started in nine Premier League games this season.
He scored a brace while starting as a wing-back in the Red Devils' latest 4-2 victory over Watford on 28 November. Young expressed his delight after getting back on the scoresheet and also coming away with three points from their trip to Vicarage Road.
"It's always nice to get on the score sheet I haven't done that in a while. I tried to claim the goal against Brighton so I will definitely be claiming that one," the versatile star explained.
"But for us it's about getting the three points and it's a tough place to come and we're delighted to come away with the three points."
