Manchester United: Ashley Young set for Old Trafford stay after agreeing new three-year deal

Manchester United winger Ashley Young has reportedly agreed a new three-year deal with the club, according to ESPN FC.

The England international, who is in the final year of his current deal, had admitted that talks were ongoing with the club over a new deal, and expressed his desire to remain with the Red Devils after impressing under Louis van Gaal last season.

"I'm at one of the biggest clubs in the world so I want to stay here as long as possible. That's exactly what I want to do. I think a lot of people thought I had it done [a new deal] but I haven't. It's in the club's hands now so I will have to see how it goes," Young is quoted as saying by the Guardian.

Young was tipped to be deemed surplus to requirements following the arrival of the Dutchman and the record signing of Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid. But, the former Aston Villa wide player refused to be relegated to the sidelines with some impressive performances throughout the season, which saw him eventually push the Argentine international out of the starting XI.

The former Real star has since confirmed his move to Paris Saint-Germain after just one season at Old Trafford, while Young has agreed a new three-year deal and will compete for a place in the team with new arrival Memphis Depay.

Premier League rivals Tottenham and Aston Villa have shown interest in signing the winger, according to the Manchester Evening News, due to lack of a contract offer from the Red Devils.

According to the Daily Mail, the 30-year-old winger will put pen to paper on a new deal in the coming days, with the report claiming that the player will earn around £120,000 a week over the next three years.
