They didn’t realise they would need him in March though.

Erm... but our (successful) attempt to keep him until the summer would be to do absolutely nothing...
They can still use him in March. We don't need to extend his contract to use him in March.
It's like Conte is saying look what I can do with your so called rubbish, I'm a world class coach.
Usually I'd be up for letting Young go, like in the past summer if bringing in an improvement but we're so light as a squad just now i don't think it's good until the end. What's surprising is just how fast Young is at 34, he can hold his own against younger players still.
Also our players like Shaw, TFM ad Dalot seem to be injured all the time and we've barely seen Laird but I wouldn't want to step in the way of Young's last chance at his age.

Must have completely missed this, when?
State of the club when even a club servant like Young wants out 
Which makes no sense whatsoever as we can keep him regardless of whether he signs a new deal or not.
Eh you could say the same when Vidic jumped ship in January with Moyes. Young isn't the first, and he's stuck around much longer than most.State of the club when even a club servant like Young wants out
Honestly, there's no correcting this sinking ship is there?
We could have easily offered him a 1 year contract on about 30k, doesn't really mean anything that we offered an extension. Outrage merchants in full flow on the caf.

He wants out now.. that’s the thing! Hence the negotiation you can stay and we will offer you a pay rise for doing so.
Even Young’s fed up of Ole and this crap.
Right time to move him on anyway at 34. A greater role for William's and possibly Laird who looks promising in the academy.
He wants out the same reason Vidic wants out though. The place is toxic and filled of excuses.
Ah, turns out it wasn't an official announcement (no idea why I thought it was) - but it was reported pretty much everywhere around the middle December - like a briefing of sorts.
No! We need to sign a full back.
But he has a chance to get involved a title challenge now and possibly be a favourite to lift the Europa League as compared to having a squad role at a struggling club with all the doom surrounding the club.
Yeah fair enough on Young's part wanting the Inter move, I just didn't expect him to down tools to force it (if the reports are true).
. You literally have zero evidence pointing to this.Come on Inter, do us a solid here and allow Young to leave the place without a fuss and play the last years of his career in Italy.
Look around Redcafe. Does it seem like a good time to be Manchester United? The whole energy of the club is a joke.
Who do you suggest? Think we have far bigger areas to fill than full back and Young is no great loss to our option there. William's has taken his roll in the squad recently.
We're short on cover, its apparently "very difficult" to sign players in the January transfer window, he's under contract until summer, why let him go now. Just keep him until the summer. Its not rocket science, we don't need to sign him up again for another year. I hope @Pexbo theory of us doing him a favour in negotiations is all this is. I don't dislike Young but his time is up.
Us offering him the type of contract he'd actually accept would be a much worse decision than letting him leave
With the reports he wants out, might it have something to do with the dogs abuse he gets on here, twitter and everywhere else on a weekly basis maybe?
Might be a bit of a classless thing to say, but its not exactly going to be easier for him playing in Italy is it.
Young is and always has been, never good enough for Man United. Even when he was signed on a free, it should've been as a squad player on the wings. The fact he's 34 and still making the team says more about us than it does about his quality. He's awful, seems like a nice bloke but totally out of depth as a player at a club like United.
The fact we even offered him an extension after this news shows how clueless we are. They probably had no fecking idea that Young was even considering leaving.
The fact United offered him an extension last year shows how clueless they are. He's a complete liability and has been for years. Best summed up by that performance in Camp Nou last year.
Getting rejected by Ashley Young. feck me.
Redcafe is not really indicative of what the club is like. This guys is 34, not playing any more and been offered to go to Italy, it's a fantastic opportunity. If he wants to go into the game after, it is also a superb experience to learn another perspective.
That’s patent rubbish. He was never ever as bad as that. The fact that we’ve kept on a waning player and that’s down to our pathetic policy of keeping on an aging player
Snubbed by a 34 years old Ashley Young. He's my spirit animal.
Even at his absolute peak he was never good enough for us. Couple months of good form in his first season and its been nothing but shite and "doing a job" since.
He’s not off to Sampdoria. He’s going to the club currently sitting top 2 in Italy. He wants out now because at 34 he’s actually managed to get a step up. His game time will be exactly the same.
Why you bashing him for. He’s been an excellent servant and has never let the club down.
I'd happily have Young for another season as cover for Williams if it meant Luke Shaw leaving
He's been replaced by a 19-year old academy product that's better than him in every aspect of the game. It's only natural that he wants to move on. Wish Mata would do the same.
