Jones wasn't meant to be signed this year. Think he was meant to be signed next year, but interest from other teams made us sign him now.

De Gea next week then, and then we'll just spend the rest of pre-season wanking over potential CM's only for eventual deadline day disappointment.

Solius · 23rd June 2011, 14:32

I'll reserve judgement til he plays a bit for us but I don't see how he fits in. I have slightly come around the the idea of having him, I was wrong about Valencia too so maybe in 6 months time I'll quote this laughing wondering why I was so skeptical.

ciderman9000000 · 23rd June 2011, 14:32

Disappointed. We should have got that Eden Sanchanega fella instead

All 3 United · 23rd June 2011, 14:32

Superb to have it confirmed. Improves the squad and is still Young (excuse the punn!)

Do you think we have bought one of the best wingers in the league to play as a back up? I certainly hope not. I hope he will be as regular as a player can possibly be in the rotating system we have. He can easily play central as well as on the wing.

It's not often Fergie gets it wrong

Baby Faced Assassin · 23rd June 2011, 14:33

What no. shirt will he get? He is perfect for the no. 7.

Mojo_pin · 23rd June 2011, 14:34

From: Twitter

From 07/08-10/11, Ashley Young has provided 30 dead ball league assists: 7.5 per year. #MUFC's best Nani has averaged 4.25. Improvement.

Young's dead ball assist rate from last 4 years of 7.5 per season is better than Beckham - who averaged 4.77 per season in his #MUFC career.

47% of Ashley Young's career league goals have come away from home, compared to Valencia's 31% and Nani's 25%. #MUFC

Ashley Young has scored 32 goals in the Premier League - 100% on his right foot, 34.4% from outside the box, 37.5% from dead balls. #MUFC

Ashley Young is 7th on the PL assist rate list with 0.46 assists per game, behind Giggs, Bergkamp, Cantona, Fabregas, Henry & Beckham. #MUFC

from: Twitter

5 – Ashley Young won more penalties than any other player in the 2010/11 Premier League season, winning 5 of Villa’s 6 spot kicks. Tricky.

44 – Since the start of the 2006/07 season, only Cesc Fabregas (60) has made more PL assists than Ashley Young (44). Creator.

Unam333 · 23rd June 2011, 14:35

Kinda meh signing. Not too excited about it, especially because we have good players in our wing department. Now let's target our Scholes replacement.

GE · 23rd June 2011, 14:36

Goddamnit, I forgot that there're strict limitations on these things based on one line from a press conference ages ago

The FA need to lift this draconian ruling if we're to compete with the best teams like City!

SharkyMcShark · 23rd June 2011, 14:36

Some peon deleted my comment saying he was better than Messi.

The way SAF talked of Valencia i doubt it.It's a great headache for him to have.

I didn't think he was shit, but my opinion of him has been revised massively in the few seconds between him nearly being a United player to actually becoming a United player. He is now on a par with Messi in my eyes.

moyesmyhero · 23rd June 2011, 14:41

I've just decided I approve of this signing.

Kelvin · 23rd June 2011, 14:41

New team-mate Rio Ferdinand was quick to hail his international colleague's move to Old Trafford.

Ferdinand wrote on Twitter: "Welcoming Ashley Young to Manchester United. Another top, hungry and young player joins the ranks."

Snow · 23rd June 2011, 14:41

We finally have a players that can take corners !

No-one's in trouble. We won't have the same two wingers playing every game of the season, especially not when we have 2/3 games in a week.

ricky-romeo · 23rd June 2011, 14:43

we should be more threatening from set pieces now. good news.

He's a lot to learn yet. That should read "the biggest club".

Who would he replace then? Nani (the best winger) or Valencia (top winger as well)?

Red-Indian · 23rd June 2011, 14:51

What a collection of wingers - Nani, Valencia, Young and Park with Cleverly and even Giggs available as backup. Its got to be the best in the world easily.

I wonder what Fergie intends to do about Central Midfield. We've spent a lot of money - maybe around 50mn on these 3 signings, two of which very few would have identified as being in need of stregthening.

If we do go for another big buy for the centre, we could end up spending about 75 net. A real landmark year in our transfer spend.

As I said, he can also play central attacking, which he will do to some extent. Also, Nani and Valencia won't play every game, which is something you would know if you followed United this season. And when it comes to who is better of those three, I rate Nani the highest, and Young just above Valencia, based on the last two seasons. He will replace no one, just give us more options and attacking quality.

Anduin · 23rd June 2011, 14:58

Nani, Valencia, Young, Park. Best set of wingers in Europe by a country mile. We can now give our players a proper rest when games come thick and fast... I still remember the start of the year, Park came back from Asia injured, Valencia was still out and Nani/Giggs had to play every game... we even used Gibson, Fletcher and Rooney out wide for a couple of games. Excellent signing IMHO.
