I don't see him being a let down simply because there aren't that many of us expecting him to be our big hope for the future.
I think it's a good time to get him. He's gaining confidence from his role and personal success with the England team and he's of the right age to push on now with better players around him. |

Some people here are great: when we signed Valencia for a higher fee they all said "Valencia? Good but not United quality!" "we've been ripped off" "he is gonna be a good squad player, but 17m is outrageous"; on Xmas that same year everyone was wanking all over him because he turned out to be a great fucking signing, some even said he was a bargain, and the threads read "always trust the old man".
Now we have the exact same case with Ashley Young and people asre STILL making the same old stupid comments. |

Great signing, perfectly suited to our style of play which is heavily focussed on width and pace on the counter, Youngs been consistently one of the best attacking players in the league for years now in an average side (as backed up by his stats) quality player that gives us numerous options in the forward line next season.
All this rubbish about Nani now having to leave or how he must be leaving i really dont understand its as if people have totally ignored where Young has flourished for the last 12 months at Villa and the fact that Nani and Valencia aren't going to play every single week of the season, as we saw last season one injury to either and we were left light for a large period of the season, it seems to be totally overlooked that its very possible we could play all 3 of them at any given time as well as the fact we now have someone who's comfortable playing on the left more so than maybe Valencia or Nani or at least arguably better suited. Plenty of options available to us now: Valencia - Young - Nani .............Rooney Valencia - Rooney - Young .............Hernandez Nani - Rooney - Young .......Hernandez Valencia - Young - Nani ............Hernandez And thats without including the likes of Berbatov/Park/Giggs/Owen etc, our attacking options look very good for next season, if only we could sort out that bastard midfield. |

Talking about the deepness of our squad !
I'm very happy for this signing and happy for Ashley of course. He's a kind of player that will be able to show some solid football on the highest club level. Park, Valencia, Nani, Young.... United game is based on wingers and this is what we need, too. |

He is about one of the most safest bets that he will become a valuable squad player These are the types of signings Arse and Liverpool need desperately. But Fergie is the only one smart enough to pursue |

He could try, but playing the Iniesta role usually requires being one of the best players in the world.
It requires technique out of this world and a system to accommodate a space in midfield when he bombs forward. |

Just having a browse of the comments on here: Ashley Young: I couldn't turn Manchester United down | Manchester Evening News - menmedia.co.uk
It's as though the story is about Young turning up for the museum and tour and being caught shitting in the Premier League trophy. We've an embarrassment of riches when it comes to spoiled wankers claiming to be supporters. Apparently this signing does not signal a positive step to add quality to the squad and anticipate the imminant retirement of another of our aging players, but is a sign that we have no ambition left and have done spending for the year. |

I just wonder if we could play him in a 3 man midfield, being the more advanced of the 3, with Carrick and Anderson behind. Would be devastating counter attacking play if anything. |

Really excited by this signing. It's always good to sign quality young English players, and it makes our squad even stronger.
Oh, and some of you really are spoilt fuckers. We sign a quality player, with proven PL pedigree, and all you can do is moan. Just because it's not Ashley Younginiho from Brazil its seen as a 'meh' signing. |
